Triggers not working - please help
Can anyone see why my triggers don't work? I have created 3 rectangles (1. Strategy, 2. Finance, 3. Budgets) that can be clicked in any order. When each are clicked, the user will be directed to the ...
Serena,
Your file has a trigger that changes the Budgets button to Normal when it is clicked. That's preventing it from being Visited.
FYI: You don't need triggers to change a button to Visited, because that's a built-in state. Any object with a Normal state and a Visited state will automatically change to Visited when it is clicked. See it work in the attached file, which has all of the change-state-to-Visited triggers deleted.
- Here's more info about how the built-in states work: PRIMER: Take advantage of built-in states | Articulate - Community
- FYI: I also added conditions to the button that disabled Next, so it won't happen if the user revisits the slide after visiting all of the buttons.
Also, you could use fewer objects to simply your buttons. For example, fill a rectangle with a picture of a folder. Enter the name directly in the rectangle. You can even add a checkmark in the Visited state, so there's a visual indicator that the button has been clicked. There's an example of this on the second slide in the attached file.
Hi there, first glance it could be the order that the triggers are in, try moving the next button to the bottom, Articulate can be funny with the positioning of triggers its looking at each in turn (thats my guess) so it gets itself in a pickle and doesnt do what you expect it to do....just my opinion... though there are more "experts" on here who may have other suggestions.. let me know how you get on.
Thanks. I also thought it might be the order, but the ability to reorder is greyed out :\
