Adapting eLearning Brothers Game
Nov 24, 2013
By

I really love the eLearning Brothers resources for creating interactions, etc. for my Storyline projects. I have a subscription to their template library. I'm currently working on a developmental math course and downloaded their Explorer and Gridlock games. I was hoping to be able to change out the background graphic and then have learners traverse the "island" in the game-based module. However, I can't figure out how the interaction tracks the learner's location.
I put in a help ticket to eLB, but I'm working on the project over the weekend. I was hoping someone who has worked with either of these games could help me.

Hi Gayla,
I'm guessing the background graphic is either on a locked layer or on the slide master. You can access your slide master by pressing F4 or by going to View > Slide Master. The background graphic might be on the top master slide or one of the slide layouts.
Here's some general info on using slide masters in Storyline:

I understand how to change out the background graphic. It's the programming that tracks the learner's movement and location on that image that I can't figure out. I don't see any related variables and there's not a separate slide or anything with the different placements of the avatars as they answer the questions.
What's on the slide layers? After each question is answered, there will be correct or incorrect feedback. Where is the correct feedback coming from? Is there anything on the correct feedback layer/slide that tells Storyline to show a slide or a layer or change state of an object?
