How to... select an avatar as a main character for your course
Hi folks,
I guess the title says it all 
I want to create something where a user can select one of multiple characters before starting a course... That character will then be the main character in the course.
I had a look at Mike Enders screenr here and figured I'd so something with placing all characters over each other and enable/disable them based on a variable. Mike countered that you could do something with one object and have all character options as states but that seems complex to me especially if I want my main character in different poses.
If I take it a step further I'd perhaps like the character that haven't been chosen to play a part in the scenario...
Anyone got some brilliant ideas?
Hi, Lynda.
Thank you for reaching out!
The first trigger you mentioned is correct: set character to value Jennifer when the user clicks Jennifer. You need a variable (Character) to receive the value the user selected.
Once the variable is set, you can change the character's state based on that value.
I recorded a short Peek 360 overview (3mins) with the changes I suggest for your project.
Let me know if you have additional questions!
Have a look at the attached and see if that's what you wanted. I used a variable "SelectedCharacter". Clicking either character will set the variable. On the next slide then, based on the variable value, I set the appropriate character's state to Normal.
Oh my, one small step! Thank you both so much.
