Triggers with variable T/F to switch on another slide
I have some slides with the variable T/F and this works very well.
that means, when pass the slides the variables change to true
Now I have another problem:
I would like to open a closing page after "all" buttons have changed - i.e. all relevant pages have been visited and the variables have been properly set to T - because no button is active anymore.
(i wrote an new variable which checked all variables if there are TRUE, this new variable should start a "closing slide")
Unfortunately, the slide does not start from the home slide where all the buttons are finished, so it does not automatically jump on my terms. Do you have any idea why?
proof 1: i checked each variable on True
proof2: i set a trigger with a new variable True as result of each variables
it doesnt work...
thanks for your help
Hello MichaelUtz
It's difficult to understand exactly what your problem is, even if I do understand your need. And I “think” I understand that even if all your variables have correctly switched to T, you're missing a final event to check their positions (or/and including the one that is the result of all of them) and activate the switch to the closing slide.
An extract from your .story file that you could share would be useful to explore this hypothesis.
In any case, may I ask if you've ever tried using the following trick to debug trigger behavior yourself? Display on screen the values of all your variables to check: their live state; when you want the transition to the next slide to take place, and when you return to this slide?
It's cool to see a language other than English on screenshots for once.🙂

thanks for your tip to set the variables "TRUE" then i see that the mistake was not by the variables.
the error was by the following trigger. a simple mistake...
and a "summary varable" over all single variables was not necessary...
thank you!
Great!
From your screenshots it's not apparent where (on which slide) the GR_1_geschafft variable is set to True. Keep in mind that the "Wenn GR-1_geschafft sich aendert" option is limited to the slide where the change actually happens.
