Avatar Selection

This week I am sharing an example I built a while back where the learner chooses an avatar. The characters are part of a button set, and if you try to proceed without picking an avatar, an error layer will show. Slide 2 shows the avatar, and displays a name variable that was set on the previous slide. 

View the example.

    I like this, thanks for sharing.

    Quick question though: I need to et the avatar at the start of every page where the avatar appears, right?

    And thinking this a bit further: If the avatars have different postures or facial expressions (depending os learner interaction for example), that would mean I need a state for each character and each posture?

      Hey Felix,

      You would have to put the avatar on any page where you want it, along with a trigger to change the state of that avatar. And you are right, you'd need a state for each posture/expression. I would probably just edit the state of the avatar on each slide to adjust all three of them to whatever expression I wanted for that particular slide, as opposed to adding more states.

        Hi elizabeth​ 

        Thank you for the quick answer. Editing the states on each page is a good idea, since the states need to be edited anyway. Still alot of work, but the really cool stuff that makes the difference often is.
