Is there any way to remove the character in the dialogue screens of a Rise 360 scenario block? There is a tick box for text screens to 'hide character', but not an option in dialogue screens. I'm wondering if there are any tricks that can be done so it doesn't add the character. I once read you can create your own character which sounded complex. But is there an option to insert an invisible character or way to hack that in to the Rise block without resorting to a custom Storyline block? p.s. the reason I ask is I want to create an interview with a child and just use the background image to show the child's hands; no reactions or anything needed, just the dialogue.

Hi Alexis. I'll write a feature request to include the option to hide the character during the dialogue content as well. Thanks for letting us know you need that!

@Zuzana-- If you're in a pinch and need a solution immediately, there's a workaround I've used: create a custom character that's invisible (100% transparency is what I use) and that character for every spot in the scenario where a character would appear. You'll still see the background, but no character will appear to the learner. Good luck!

Hi Crystal, Is there an updated to this request? I also would like to have the option of hiding the character in the dialogue box. Thanks!

Hi Matobo Learning! In case you haven't seen it yet, I wanted to share this tutorial for using custom characters in a scenario block. Hopefully that sparks some ideas!

Any update on removing the character? Would love to see this as a feature as well.

Hi Alyssa,

I would also like to see an option to completely remove characters. The characters are not appropriate to the content I am working with, and similarly to the original post, this would make the most sense with an image in the background, rather than a character speaking directly to the learner.
Please let me know if this is an option.
Thank you

Hi Alan,

While it's not possible to remove the character from the scenario block right now, you could design your own custom interaction using a Storyline block! Thanks for letting us know the option to remove the character is important for your projects.

I would also like this functionality to remove characters completely. When I'm using my own customised backdrops I don't feel the need for the character as well as it takes away from the dialogue a bit. Would love this to be marked as a potential upgrade!!

Yes - agree with all the above. Having the option to remove characters completely would allow for more flexibility in using a Rise scenario block (without having to re-built the interaction in storyline).

Please make this happen! :)

Following this -- I would also like the option to remove characters completely. I feel like using characters detracts from the scenario content more often than it helps.

I also agree: please offer the chance to display scenario without a character. Thanks!

I would like this too (remove a character) either that or a broader option for characters including individuals with limb loss. Given our audience, there seems to be no option here to use this interactive tool as we do not have an LMS.
