Suggestion: single triggers that can affect multiple objects, layers or variables.

Greetings,

I would like to suggest triggers that can affect grouped objects, layers and variables, Storyline 360.

GROUPED OBJECTS

  • If you want to hide multiple assets in a group, you must change their states to Hidden for each of them individually. You cannot say "change state of [group 1] to Hidden", despite Hover states reacting normally. A single command that changes states to "all selected objects" would also be welcomed.

GROUPED LAYERS

  • Let's say you have a click-to-reveal in a secondary layer, not the base slide, that calls other layers to reveal text boxes. You must have a trigger that closes each layer individually, because you cannot close that main layer nor hide it. I'd love a trigger that goes like "close [all selected layers from this list]" in one single command.

GROUPED VARIABLES

  • If your slide requires variables that must be reset on every visit, you have to trigger them to reset individually. OI'd like to see a trigger that "reset all selected variables to their [initial values]", again in one single command.

Please note that while you can choose how to display your triggers, you still need one trigger/"thing".

Thanks in advance.

    I second this. It'd save a ton of time if there were triggers with this functionality.

      Huh... no... I have not... I didn't know that there was a board for that :O

      Is it possible to "move" that discusion from this board to the idea board, or to crosspost it?

        Hi Jean-Christo203​!

        Glad to see the community has been helping you!

        As JenLynnRusso​ mentioned, it would be helpful to have this discussion on the Suggest Ideas page of E-Learning Heroes. I've just moved it over there on your behalf.

        Also, we appreciate you taking the time to share the type of functionality you'd like to see in Storyline 360. I've relayed all of your insights directly to our product team!

        Please let me know if you need anything else!
