Robot Animation
Hello,
I would like any knowledge or suggestions on how to animate the robot on slide 1.3. The idea is when the robot turns around he selects the buttons starting with G1, G2, E1 and so on. But I would like for the robot to simulate pointing a laser at the buttons, and then the corresponding slide opening. I have not uploaded all the pages and changed some of the content due to client confidentiality. I'm just curious if this can be done in Storyline. I do have the robot in different poses that I was thinking could be used as States to show animation, but there is still the laser option. Thanks in advance.

One way would be to export the frames to PNGs and use them as states (maybe remove the background as well if you can). Then use triggers on hover for the buttons to change to the state for the direction they are pointing at. You won't get the entire animation of the robot turning around, but it will look like it as they move their cursor around the various buttons.
Use Rive ( https://rive.app )
That would be a solution and I'm interested in finding out more, but if we were going that route, we have an Animator who could assist. I was just curious to know if it could be done in Storyline. I have viewed a couple examples with Rick's suggestion.
