Using variables to change states across different slides
I am struggling to change a state when a variable changes. What would the reason be for the state not changing? I can see that the variable changes by tracking the references.
Agreed... I would definitely advocate for using custom states and avoid using the default (i.e. "visited").
Also, you can get around the need to have Oval 1 on the same slide as HOME by changing your condition from "when HOME changes" to "When the timeline starts on this slide".
This will prompt Storyline to check the value of HOME when the slide loads, and will allow it to set the correct state of the graphic based on that value.
IF your state change is happening on the same slide as the variable change, then "when HOME changes" should work, as long as you're using a custom state.
