Has anyone created a course where the student can pick their own avatar or character? I was thinking of making two different scenes with the same content but different characters and have the student pick a character in the beginning and have it trigger to the correct scene. Just wondering if there would be an easier way...maybe using a variable?
I built a course where the user built their avatar (hair colour, skin colour, clothes, body type etc) t involoved a lot of states.
For yours which is much easier if you want two characters, have a slide where they choose the avatar and set a T/F variable.dependent on which character
For your character you need to create two states Normal is one character and a custom state is the other character, then on every slide you have the avatar set a trigger on timeline start to change state to custom state if variable ===> to value you chose for character 2
I'm looking for Avatar characters like the one you have for yourself. I see several folks on eLearning Heros have similar ones and I really like them. How can I create ones like this? Thanks!
Good day. I have to create a interactive elearning for children between 9 and 12. One of the requests is that the children must be able to choose the character, clothes and hair colour of the characters. Is there a way that it can be done in articulate, or what is a good way around. I would really love some feedback.
Thanks for the example you have shared here, Walt! Please let us know if that will do the trick for your needs, Wessel, or if you need additional assistance, you are welcome to share your file, as well.

Hey Gina, welcome!
In addition to Phil's, here's another way, including a step-by-step sample.
Here is another option!
The point is, Storyline rocks!
And so does the eLearning Heroes community!!!
Thanks everyone! The T/F variable worked great! Glad I asked!
And Storyline DOES rock!
You guys do too!

Ah, I answered my own question and found these cute little faces in my profile! I love when that happens!

3 characters, 3 clothes, 3 hair colors = 27 triggers: If character = 1 AND clothes = 1 AND hair = 1 set state of character to State 1, etc.
It may cut down on the number of triggers if you put them on the master slide, as in the sample.
