I’m having an issue with a page that is meant to be a sort of sequential journey - every button the user clicks leads them to the next item on the page. For that reason I’ve selected “once/user” under the display settings for each animation, because there are a few triggers that are meant to be clicked twice. Under normal circumstances, clicking the trigger a second time would result the the animated element disappearing (because my animation is an opacity change from 0-100). So when I toggle “once/user” the animation happens once, and then the element remains (which is what I want!). The issue is that when a user reloads the page, the animation never happens again. It only ever happens the very first time someone visits the page. Is there a workaround for this? I would like the animation count to reset on page reload. ---

The ‘once per user’ stuff won’t work here, as it will simply make the animation happen one time per person. Can’t think of any other option, though 🫤 ---

Actually managed to solve this by mapping my animations a bit differently… the “play” buttons would trigger themselves to disappear + trigger a new button to appear which only controlled the next steps. phew! ---

Sort of like temporary triggers? 🤔 Nice, great idea! Happy you worked it out.
