Altering animation paths trough variable references and triggers
Is there a way to change a animation path through triggers?
Can we change the parameters to be a variable?
For instance
Example_Animation_path1
from
Y-20
to
Y%variable1%
You can create premade animation paths and trigger to show any specific one ( on separate SlideLayers eg. ) with the use of GSAP you can change the animation on the fly.
Here you see a sample on how triggers and SlideLayers can show/hide different motionpaths.

If you check the attached sample you will notice you need a lot of layers to create a simple animation this way. And as you can see too, its tough to get seamless.
Next step is doing the same thing with GSAP in Storyline.Use at end of animation if ___ triggers.
Trigger <Animation2> when <Animation1> completes
if Variable Y=N
Triggering when animation completes lets you get the timing right without fuss. If you do this keep that animations short so the change happens quickly.
