When revisiting: Resume saved state
I have a project that has a few places where I want learners to click a series of objects to view info on the layers that they trigger before they move on. I am finding that even when I set the sli...
Unfortunately, a "when timeline starts" trigger re-runs when the user returns to a slide, even if the slide is set to resume saved state.
To prevent the NEXT button from disabling when the user revisits the slide, add a condition to that trigger. I typically add a condition that a certain T/F variable = False (which is the default value). Then I add a trigger that changes the variable to True when the user completes whatever interaction is on the slide.
Another option would be to use conditions that check if any of the objects/buttons do not equal Selected. Notes:
- Don't check for the objects = Normal. All states have a bit of Normal in them, so that condition doesn't work well.
- Be sure to connect those conditions with "OR" (not "AND"). That will mean the trigger will run if any object ≠Selected.
