Trouble with Variables and States
Before I duplicate a scene (English) to add 11 languages, I want to get this right! Course is 6 videos, each followed by a review slide with hidden icons and text.
Problem 1: When a user clicks an icon, the corresponding text and the next icon appear. The Next button is hidden until the last icon is clicked and the variable is NextButton = False. Clicking the last icon changes the variable to True. I would like user to be able to go back to the full review slides without having to click through all the icons and for the Next button to be there, so I added When timeline starts -> Change State of X to Normal if the NextButton is True. Works for one slide but none of the others. Cannot see why not!
Problem 2: I want to hide/disable the Next button on the videos until they are watched at least once. I've attached a picture of the triggers for each video. Works for the 1st, but not the rest. It's probably too complicated, but I was troubleshooting and now don't recall what made the first one work! Help!
How does one reach the staff and upload a test scene? I swapped our training videos for short stock videos (you're welcome) and removed some slides, so I have a test scene that is only 6 slides and takes a minute to go through.
you are using the same variable "NextButton" for all your slides, this cannot work
you have to used for every slide a different variable e.g.
- "NextButtonVideo1" for slide Video 1, "NextButtonReview1" for slide Review 1
- "NextButtonVideo2" for slide Video 2, "NextButtonReview2" for slide Review 2
- ...
Thank you! I did not know that! That's an easy fix!
