Can't choose characters and can't change state of character

Hi!

I am new to Storyline and I am trying to set up a dial for test. When choosing a character I have to download all of them and I can't change the state of the character with triggers. Anyone who knows what i should do?

Thank you!

Best regards

  • Hi, Liv.

    Thank you for reaching out!

    The first time you use a character, you have to download it. It will then be available to you for the next time you want to insert it. 

    I created a short Peek 360 recording showing you how to change the state of a character based on the value of a dial. 

    Let me know if you have additional questions!

    Hi!

    Thank you for your answer. My problem is that I can't choose a state of the character. It looks like attached file.

    How can I fix that?

    Thank you!

  • Hi, Liv.

    Thank you for clarifying what you're experiencing!

    When using photographic characters, you can change the poses, but not the emotions. So you need to create the different states with the poses you'd like to use before selecting them on the trigger wizard.
