Working with Built-In States
This week's tip comes from RonPrice at Articulate's certified training partner, Yukon Learning. Built-in states are typically the very first type of interactivity someone sees in Storyline. Hovering over or clicking on an object and seeing that object respond is a simple and popular effect in digital learning. It is also one of the Storyline features that gets over-programmed by new Storyline users. The beauty of built-in states is their simplicity. In this video we'll show you the basics of working with states! Resources: Yukon Learning YouTube Channel Need Articulate 360 Training? Sign up.How to Show & Hide an Object by Toggling States
This tip comes from our certified training partner, Yukon Learning. When you use triggers to change states of objects, the trigger wizard adjusts the language to "Set State". But did you know this option can be adjusted to "Toggle"? The Toggle allows you to switch an object from normal to hidden or from normal to disabled with a single button action.

Hello! Non-human characters can be a strong choice for your e-learning courses. They're often more popular with users than AI avatars. My characters always come across as a bit grumpy, for some reason... Believe it or not, this is a regular 'pick one' freeform question slide. The character was created using Nano Banana, and I manipulated it in Pixlr to create the different mouth shapes. The animation is achieved through rapid state changes, synchronised to the waveform of each bit of narration. This is controlled by Javascript that I wrote with the help of Claude.ai. The voice is Dave, one of my favourite Storyline AI voices, with the style exaggerated to 75 😀 Switch my demo on here: https://bit.ly/elhc539

Click here to view the example. This is actually my first E-Learning Challenge! I'm new to using Storyline, so using the challenges for inspiration has helped me learn how to use the platform. For this challenge, I went back to #518 Designing Performance Meters for Learner Feedback. While the design is relatively simple, I learned how to: Create and edit slides and slide layers Create and edit states Create and use variables Create and stack triggers This project in particular helped me gain a better understanding of how triggers stack. After banging my head on the wall for hours, I finally figured out that my “jump to slide X when user clicks Y” trigger was stacked above my “set variable to True when user clicks Y”, meaning that the variable never changed because the trigger above it was fulfilled first and then the slide changed. Such an easy fix for hours of frustration. I’m looking forward to learning more and pushing myself farther in the new year. Any advice the community has for me is greatly appreciated! - Donna WilsonLeadership 101
The first slide is an example of what gets approved by corporate: Generic clipart, plain text, and no audio. I mean, it looks fine but (yawns and screams internally). 🥱 The next two slides are what I proposed. I used text variables for both the name and character selection and paired them with states. I also used triggers with conditions so the narration would match the characters (male v female). I would have created individual voices for each character but this was only a "5-minute" challenge. 😉 I used all Articulate for this: Characters, photo, and video.

I started with one of the many tab templates available through Articulate, and I used both Articulate AI and Gemini to create images, Gemini to create videos, Articulate's image and video library, and Articulate AI TTS. https://360.articulate.com/review/content/56de37fa-b33a-49c7-b513-b3e4c3852cda/reviewTriggers on a submit button for drag and drop
Hi all! Hoping someone here has needed to do this before and has an idea! I have a drag and drop slide that I want all the drag options to be on screen at the same time (not appear one at a time as we often do for slides where space is an issue). The slide is intended to get the reader to engage better with the content and review the strategies explained a couple of slides back. Now the challenge I have is space and position...want to keep button bottom right as this is where it best fits on the other interactive slides. So I want to have the submit button and hidden and change it to "normal" when all the drag items have been dropped whether they are correct or not. There could be so many combinations, I can't work out a simple and logical way to get a trigger to work for that. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. JessicaUse 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!
