Screencast: Using a Button Set to Choose Course Avatar Part 2

February 7, 2017

Yesterday’s screencast showed you how to setup your Avatar button set, and today’s screencast is going to show you how to carry the selected avatar throughout your course, using 1 variable and several triggers.

The variable we used was a Number variable, set by default to 0. On the avatar selection slide, we created 2 triggers, one for each avatar; the female avatar would increase the variable value to 1 if selected, and the male avatar would increase the variable value to 2 if selected.

On the content slide (and any additional content slides your avatars appear on), we first set the initial state of both avatars to Hidden, and then we created 2 more triggers, one for each avatar; the female avatar would change from Hidden to Normal state, if the variable was equal to 1; the male avatar would change from Hidden to Normal state, if the variable was equal to 2.

If you want to see how this was done, check out the demonstration below!
