Default Help, may need macros!!

Some knowledge of electrical switching may be needed here. Esstially what I need is for the lamp to be on when the path is complete and off when the path is not complete. Triggers dont appear to cut it.
It would also be helpful to my students if the completed path were to glow or some indication of the path.


I think this is beyond my expertise, sure hope someone can help me out here.

FYI, I have also posted this elsewhere seeking assistance...

It can be done with triggers but of course you cannot animate when it's just an image on the slide. You will need to edit the image and add some animatable(??) shapes.

I have done this VERY roughly to show you how the triggers work. basically the on off triggers hide or show fake lights set to "OFF" The on bulb only shows when both switches are ON

Thats a very intertesting approach, I will have to look at it and play with it. I was thinking script using a lot of "if" statements was that only way this was going to work.
Thanks for this insight and taking the time to help me out with this...

I just noticed that I have the electrics wired up wrongly but you may still be able to use the principle

Thumbs up

So JohnWilson's approach got me to rethinking my approach to this. Guess I was trying to get too fancy and looking for the scripting, VBA, to get this to work. I redid this "Old School" and now it will me a nice little addition to the classroom.
I think too I was looking as to how I might get this to work on iPad and tablets, web page, as I have been working with Adobe Edge Preview.
Anyways, take a look and see and I will mark this one as resloved.
