I have added character states to my e-learning, but I'm not sure how to make the character move from state to state. I want them to move based on time, not a trigger (such as a click by the user). As my narration goes on, I want the character to change between states. How do I do that?
You can place a hidden shape off screen, but it will show on the Timeline.
Than, you set up a Trigger so that when state of off-screen shape = normal (i.e. - when it appears on your timeline) , change state of kitten to frightened, (or whatever...it does not have to have anything to do with kittens).
Repeat as necessary.
Hope this helps, and once again a warm welcome to the Heroes Community.
Thank you for your reply, but I'm not sure I understand. What is the hidden object? I just have one object - a character. I created 4 different states for her. I want her to change states as time goes one, like every 15 seconds or so. Make sense?

Haha, every good e-learning course has frightened kittens.

Place the shape off the canvas and then place it on the timeline where you want the state change to occur.
Thanks to everyone! Problem solved. You guys rock!
I have a request from a client for Asian or Hispanic illustrated characters (not photographic). Are any available?
