Repeat emphasis animation
Hello Articulate Storyline developers,
One more question :-) !
How can I repeat an emphasis animation?
I added an emphasis animation to an icon to indicate the user that he/she should click on it. The animation however is very minimal and very short. I already set the Effects Options to High, but it's still very minimal. When I increase the duration, the animation is not repeated, but becomes slower and slower.
I want to keep the duration short, but repeat the animation a few times. How can I do that?
Is there a loop function in Articulate Storyline?
Add a trigger to animate object (emphasis) when animation completes (emphasis) and that will create the loop. You'll need to figure out a way to stop it. Some people add a variable that can count how many times it's animated and then stop after X times.

I just made a heart icon pump continuously by setting up cue points.
Here's my trigger:
- Emphasize icon using pulse
- When the timeline reaches cue point x
Multiply by how many times you need it to repeat. :)

Exactly what Tom said. If your emphasis doesn't start. You could add a trigger which says Emphasize (object) using (animation) when the timeline starts on this slide.
This is what I had to do to make it activate and repeat on loop.
