Words stay on screen despite state change - normal or no?
Background
I have a project that we are adding a 'help' character to. At the bottom of the screen they are holding a card with the text 'hint?'. When the user clicks on the character the state is ...
ChristyDotson​: As PhilMayor​ said, the built-in states are built on top of the Normal state. This image shows how they get layered:
Using custom states is an option. But, for your situation, it sounds like you want to take advantage of the built-in functionality for toggling between the Normal and Selected states.
Depending on how your character is set up, here are some workarounds so "hint" doesn't show in the Selected state:
- Is "hint" entered in a text box inserted into the Normal state? Then change the text color to white (or whatever color the sign is).
- Is "hint" a non-editable image? Then cover it with a rectangle that matches the color of the sign.
FYI: Here's my post about built-in states. It includes a Review 360 link with a slide that demonstrates the layering.
