True/False variable & changing states
Hi,
I've done this before and it worked but now suddenly it's no longer working in more than one course.
I have a checkmark on a slide. Initial state is hidden. T/F variable used to indicate whether a particular slide or section has been completed. (I've checked (using Reference) to make sure the variable is changing from False to true & it is).
So, the checkmark trigger is set to change state of checkmark when variable changes on condition that the variable is true.
The variable is showing as true but the state of the check mark isn't changing. Again, this isn't the only course; I had another one where it was working and then suddenly didn't.
Thanks.

Hi all,
I too am having the same T/F issue outlined above. I have set and tested a variable (with reference) to change the state of a checkmark to appear, however it is not working. To test it I have a reference on the slide and created a second trigger on the slide to ensure its set up correctly. I have tested the slide as 'reset to initial state', 'resume to saved state' and 'automatically decide'.
It looks like the video above is no longer available. Can anyone let me know what I am doing wrong?

Hi, Zack.
I'm happy to help!
Are you able to share the .story file here or privately through a support case so we can take a look at what's going on with your triggers?
Thank you Maria, I'll submit a case file.

Hello Zack!
I see you have opened a support case and working with my colleague Jan. Great call! We'll continue the conversation over in your support case.
Have a great afternoon!
Thank you both for responding. I was able to get support for this issue. For those that find themselves with a similar issue next time, my mistake was the variable adjusted on a slide and I wanted the variable to change the state of an item on another. I needed to add a trigger to do so on the same slide.
"To achieve the desired interaction, you would need to add a trigger to change the state of the checkmark to selected when the timeline starts on the slide if the variable is equal to true."
