How To Embed An ElevenLabs Conversational AI Widget Into SL360 Using JS!
Hi Heroes, It feels like something new and exciting is always around the corner in the world of generative AI technology, and this week ElevenLabs put themselves firmly in the driving seat of the agentic AI revolution with their new Conversational AI toolkit. If you haven't heard of this yet, check out this video which explains it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-EYzZCLF48&ab_channel=ElevenLabs The interactive, animated widget that this toolkit provided is easy to embed anywhere, including directly within an Articulate Storyline 360 project slide! If you're interested in how to get started, I've written a blog post that includes all the steps, including an Execute JavaScript snippet you can use to effortlessly get your agent loaded into your activity: https://discoverelearninguk.com/how-to-set-up-elevenlabs-conversational-ai-widget-in-articulate-storyline-360/ I'm also currently experimenting with the API for the new Conversational toolkit to understand how I can implement it into my eLearning Magic Toolkit plugin for Storyline + WordPress, potentially opening the door for developing real-time voice activated automation all within a Storyline-built eLearning activity! Much more to come very soon. 🚀 --- My name's Chris Hodgson, an eLearning developer and software trainer based in the UK.

JavaScript Timer Question
Hello! I'm new to using JavaScript in Storyline. But after watching a Learning Dojo video and using Claude to help me put some code together, I was able to come up with the following code to use in an "execute JavaScript" trigger that happens when the learner clicks the Start button for a matching game. My goal is to start a timer when they start the game. It counts in seconds and shows on the screen as they go through the game. When the learner completes the game, it shows them how many seconds it took them. All of that works one time. But if the learner clicks to restart the game, the original timer is still counting from the first go-around, plus a new timer is started, such that it flashes back and forth between one counter and the other. I can't figure out how to stop the timer, reset it, and allow them to start over. Claude suggested the code where it "clears any existing timerId stored in Storyline" -- but while a new timer starts, the old one still keeps going. Is there any solution to this? Thanks for any help! //Getting the player const player = GetPlayer(); //Where to start let sec = 0; //Set up the timer function startTimer() { sec += 1; player.SetVar("timer", sec); } //Clear any existing timerId stored in Storyline let existingTimerId = player.GetVar("timerId"); if (existingTimerId !== null && existingTimerId !== undefined) { clearInterval(existingTimerId); } //Reset the counter sec = 0; player.SetVar("timer", sec); //Start the timer and store the ID in Storyline let timerId = setInterval(startTimer, 1000); player.SetVar("timerId", timerId);

Scrolling with JS
I use a lot of scrolling, so I added here two types with simple JS (just copy and paste from YouTube comments) 1. Scrolling the entire slide is useful for simulating interfaces like Figma or large canvases. Zoom in/out with Ctrl+Scroll and move around freely. 2. Auto-scrolling a panel – perfect for text boxes or scrolling objects. When the slide loads, the content scrolls down smoothly to show that it’s interactive. This is the link to see how: https://youtu.be/TanOufT30vE?si=9XmJEWfe7ky6HNIQ

Code Terminal Simulation
Hi, I needed to create a code terminal for the learner to type in the code and get the feeling that it is a real terminal, and also get some kind od an imidiate feedback so they can spot the mistake on the spot. I built this with JS, and the code is in the YouTube comment with an explanation, so if you want to change colors and more, you'd know where, even if you are not a JS developer. Maybe it will help others too, and if so, enjoy! https://youtu.be/PWDxqyq4sRo?si=zvonqvBNmobFum3n

Button Listener to move a character
Hello everyone I've dealing with a problem, I started a project, it is supposed to be an Escape Room, and most of the things I need for it are already available on Storyline. But I've been stuck on the movement of the character, it is a simple 2D movement, right and left, inside the room. The problem is: I already got it to move on a click, but it is just on that click, I want it to move as long as I keep the button pressed. This is the last JavaScript I tried to make it move: const button = object('5yfHufFxicy'); function moveWhilePressed() { button[i].addEventListener("mousedown",() =>{ const player = GetPlayer(); player.GetVar("MousePressed"); const currentX = player.GetVar("MoveX"); player.SetVar("MoveX", currentX +1); setTimeout(moveWhilePressed, 100); const objects = [ object('6EPGwyDzEfX'), ]; const positions = objects.map(obj => ({ x: obj.x})); objects.forEach((obj, i) => { obj.x = positions[i].x+currentX; }); }); } moveWhilePressed(); Not sure if I'm wrong on the EventListener, before I added it, the character moved, but the moment I clicked, it kept moving without the button pressed. I tried using Variables, but the result was the same, the character kept moving.

Setting the state of an object to "Disabled" or "Hidden"
Has anyone bumped into an issue of not being able to use JavaScript to change the state of an object to the built-in "Disabled" or "Hidden" state? I'm able to set to "Normal" and any custom states, but for some reason, those two just do not work and pop an error in the console saying these are not valid states. See screenshot for an example:

Top-Down game mechanics in Storyline
I was fooling around with the new API and created a proof of concept for some mechanics of a top-down game. You can use the WASD keys to move the robot around. If you roll close to objects, I set a variable that allows a layer to open. Unfortunately, the built in Intersection triggers don't work when you move objects with API method, so you need it to do it through JavaScript. If you move the robot off screen to the right, it will go to the next screen in the correct position it left. Try going back higher up and see how it works. The current demo only allows you to go to slide (or room) 3 and back. I can get the coordinates of a character object and then since you know the slide size, you can trigger variables to get you to the next slide and back. I also built some logic in to prevent the robot from going too far up or too far down. On the last slide that you can get to through the menu, you will notice a demo of a platform concept. Move the oval using the keys and notice that we can simulate gravity like any game engine. I imagine if I implemented the same positional logic that we could create a simple platformer but haven't got there yet. Full disclosure: All assets are generated using ChatGPT 4.0 except for the ovals and the rectangles. 😉 Take a look here. https://360.articulate.com/review/content/6104372d-85cf-41cc-8f81-6f42e3a6c061/review

Progress bar with javascript not working in new versions
Hi all. I am new here. Maybe a beginner question.... I found out that my javascript progress bar doesn't work after the updates past 8th october 2024. I couldn't find out why, tried with the console and different ways. I think the <div> is not visible or not inserted. Could you please check my script in the example file? Probably you have seen this scipt in other projects, its from the web. Behaviour: start slide (without progress bar) 1. slide - master slide 1 - progress bar works fine the first time. 2. slide - master slide 1 - progress bar failes. 3. slide - master slide 2 - progress bar works fine. 4. slide - master slide 1 - progress bar works fine. If I have two slides with the same master slide in a row, on the second slide the progress bar failes. I upload a example with 4 slides. The script is on the master. Any help is welcome. Thank you.

RIVE animations in Storyline
I was curious if anyone has used RIVE for interactive elements in Storyline. I know they can be imbedded in the JavaScript, but I was wondering if you could use the listeners for interactivity within a Storyline project. Any guidance would be appreciated. I'm not sure if I'm barking up the wrong tree or not.

Training Recommendations for a Beginner?
Hello! I want to learn JavaScript. 🙃 I really need JavaScript for Dummies 😂 I have access to LinkedIn Learning and found courses like: "Hands-On Introduction: JavaScript" (uses GitHub Codespace) "JavaScript Essential Training" (uses CoderPad) "Learning the JavaScript Language" (uses GitHub Codespace) Anyone familiar with these? I'm not familiar with GitHub or CoderPad, so I'd like to not have to set up an account and learn another program/site if the course isn't what I need. Does anyone have any recommendations from LinkedIn or YouTube? Or should I go to Microsoft? 😱 Maybe this is an opportunity for an Articulate Training/Tutorial? Most of the existing training presumes (I think) an intermediate or advanced knowledge of JavaScript. Thanks in advance for helping out a JavaScript newbie 👶🏼
