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?

    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. :)

  • 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.
