    Hello,

    I really liked this template, so I downloaded and tried to understand how this worked. I figured out all the aspects, except how you have designed the 2nd slide to show the relevant avatar. I went through the triggers, variables and layers but couldn't see anyhow this worked, in fact the avatar silhouette on 2nd slide seems grayed out and I wasn't able to do anything with it.

      I would just show items based on clicked triggers, on a second layer of the same slide, after the Create button is clicked.
  • The avatar to be displayed is actually on the slides master. You can check it out by viewing in Slide Masters view.

    Love this. You can save yourself some triggers by using button sets for the various items such as hair. As a button set only allows one item to be selected at once it would eliminate the need for triggers to set the others back to normal each time you selected a new item in that set.

    That looks like a lot of fun. I'd like to see it with a scrolling feature for each of the assets to be able to add more variety for each. I may have to give this a go. I can imagine it would be a terrific way to pull learners in and give them some ownership. Well done, clever work!

  • Thank you so much MerveSatmaz for sharing this clever template with the community. Using it as a basis, I have created a seasonal version for creating one's own custom Christmas elf... and it's only fair that I share it back for others to use it too or modify as they see fit. Really clever state, trigger, and variable work, thank you again for the inspiration!
