Jump to Slide X when timeline starts (or when user clicks, etc..) if variable (or state) == Y. Using the triggers dialog, you should see a green plus sign at the bottom of the window. You can use this to add additional conditions.
I've got six things on the slide, I want the user to select three that are correct. They know they have to select three, but the group of three has to be correct. Based on their selection, I want to give specific feedback. So let's say the correct answer is A, B, and C. If they select A, B and D, I want to give them specific feedback on that grouping. If they select A, F, and C, that would be another, different set of feedback.
I have something similar. I want an arrow to appear (pointing to a corner of the player) ONLY AFTER the user clicks on four "Post-It" notes (which are grouped images). I have tried to set a variable from False-to-True for each of the four Groups, then set a hidden-to normal trigger for the arrow, but no success.
If-Then logic is definitely built in to the structure of triggers. And you can use layers as procedures if you have a lot of variable shuffling to do. There is no "Else" construct, however.

Is there a way around else? Essentially, I want to structure:
I was setting up something I believe to be similar. I just wanted a check mark to appear beside a menu item when they have completed that section. So on my slide that has the menu i have triggers that say if variable x = 'true' when timeline starts then show a layer with the check mark. However, the weird thing is that i have four of these each one works individually but it will only show the last one. Is there some limit to the triggers to only run once per timeline? or can only one layer be shown at a time?
Hi, Robin! Thanks for reaching out, and as you mentioned, "I am hoping that the ELSE functionality will be included in the near future. It would make my task much easier.", you are welcome to share your thoughts or ideas with our Product Development team using this form. :)

Hi Leslie.
What is the statement that you are trying to achieve?
It can probably be achieved, just in a slightly differrent way to the way you are tying to currently do it.
Thanks
Bruce

Make sense?
Yeah, like Steve mentioned, you'll need to use conditions. What might get a little tricky is setting the conditions based on the groups selected.
You might see if the m/s question better suits the functionality.

If a=True and
b=True and
c=True and
d=True
Then Arrow Appear
A S, that is done with a single trigger that has four separate conditions, one of a, b, c, and d. No "else" involved.

if you are simply look for where to make or adjust your if/then you do so with CONDITIONS.
I am hoping that the ELSE functionality will be included in the near future. It would make my task much easier.
Yes, it would be a very nice improvement.
