I want the learner to be able to choose an avatar to use throughout my training module. I was successful with giving the learner to avatars to choose from, but I am wanting them to have an option of choosing an avatar from eight different avatars. I created a number variable, and had it start at the default value of "0". I then created states for each avatar, along with triggers. I also created a "button set" on the "pick your avatar" page. See images below. Please help..
You are on the right track - I have replicated your approach (although only with 4 avatars) and all appears to be working. The main change I made was not having the avatar hidden as the initial state - I think this is where you were going wrong.
Instead I inserted a visible silhouette with the avatars in the states.
Can't help with the "why", but here's the "how". Working example attached.
Hi, Emilie -- Thanks for reaching out here! I see that Wendy and Lance are assisting you here with some great ideas. I did want to stop in and share some other resources on using Avatars that you may find to be of interest:

Hi Emilie
can you upload the .story file - easier for someone to help if they can work with your setup.
