Can you create an optional button or click box?

Question

I'm storyboarding a softskills module to teach employees about listening and questioning tools. What I'd like to do is insert a transparent click box or button into the speech bubble that contains what the client they're interviewing is saying. If they click in the box, the project branches to a question slide where they can select the correct answer from a list of options (buttons which then branch to another slide). My question, though, is this: is there a way to branch to another slide if they don't click in the box within a set amount of time? I've got a failure pop-up if they click elsewhere but I'd really like a full slide to reaffirm what they should be listening for.

Any ideas, Captivators???

Set the slide duration to 10 seconds or however long your timeoutneeds to be. Have the the next slide be the one you want users to seeon timeout. If they click, take them to a different slide.Steve

Krista,Steve offered you a solution but I'm not sure it will be functional, sorry Steve To activate an action you need an event, and timing out is not an event, but Exiting a slide is a an event. The normal Exit action (when leaving the slide) depends on your version, but you can change it to 'Go to Next Slide' or 'Jump to Slide' indeed. But the trouble is that you also have a Click box or a transparent button on that slide, which means that the playhead is paused at the pausing point of this interactive object. If the user doesn't click to release the playhead, it will remain paused ...eternally and never reach the end of the slide.Please correct me, Steve, if I missed something?Krista, will try to reflect on your question, but do not see immediately a solution. Would you mind to have a timer widget that will pop up a message when timeout is reached and ask the user to trigger an event?Lilybiri
