Chapter 4 – Making a Presentation Interactive

Conditional Targets

Conditional targets allow you to change the settings of an event transition depending on the value of a

User Variable

. You

can set multiple conditional targets for a single event, and you can specify new commands to occur when the conditional
target is met. With this feature, you can change the behavior of a presentation based on a wide array of interactive and
networked conditions.

1. Select the

Advanced tab while creating or editing an event.

2. Click the

Set Conditional Targets button.

Note: This option will only be available if you have created one or more User Variables in the File > Presentation
Properties
window.

3. Click

Add Conditional Target in the Conditional

Targets window, or click a preexisting Conditional Target
to edit it.

4. In the first dropdown menu, select the User Variable that

will trigger the Conditional Target.

5. In the second dropdown menu, select the conditional

operator that will compare the current value of the
variable against the value set in the field to the right. The
transition behavior and Advanced Commands you specify in this window will only occur when the entire
statement—the variable, the operator, and the target value—is true. These are the conditional operators that are
currently available:

a. Between
b. Less than (<)
c. Less than or equal (<=)
d. Equals (=)
e. Greater than or equal (>=)
f. Greater than (>)
