layers
2 TopicsUse triggers and variables to cycle through multiple layers in sequence
Hello, I have 73 images that I want to show in sequence to animate the wrapping function for the unit circle. I know that there are several ways to do this, but I'm not sure which is most efficient and easy to replicate. I have created a .story file to test the different methods using only 6 images. As far as I can tell, here are my options: Option A Create a slide with a layer for each image and create a trigger that displays the layers in sequence (see slide 1.3 Layer_TriggerShowLayer) Option B Create a slide with one image and create states for each of the other images. Option B.1 Use a slider to show the states in sequence, which is easy to setup. However, I cannot figure out how to make the slider move automatically through every state using triggers based on the timeline. I would love to have the states appear in 1 second intervals. I’m not sure this is even possible (see my attempt on slide 1.1 States_Slider) Option B.2 Use triggers and timeline markers to move the states in sequence (see my attempt on slide 1.2 States_Trigger_Timeline) The best effect so far is Option B.2, but it will require a lot of timeline markers to make all 73 images appear. Is there a way to do this using a variable that is linked to the timeline?Or maybe one of the other methods will work better with some tweaking? All advice is appreciated. I am also happy to watch any training videos that may help me make this smoother. Thanks in advance!333Views1like5CommentsTrubble with Triggers! (and layers)
New to Storyline. Learning how to use Layers and Triggers. I have a simple intro with an animated graphic, intro text and start button. Start button is on a layer (not base layer) and I'd like it to appear at a designated timeline time. I have it now set to 5 sec, so that Start button appears after intro text. However, Start button 1) appears before intro text and 2) not at 5 seconds. Start button trigger is: Show layer when timeline reached 0m 5s. Screenshot of the trigger: Any clues as to where I should look to correct the behavior to be what I want? Many thanks!Solved271Views0likes3Comments
