Overview

The Use Tool object The Use Tool object interaction emits an event once the learner uses a tool on a specified object. The author can specify the number of times the tool must be used before the event is emitted.

• The spill should not disappear until the learner has a chance to wipe it up. So, I’ve inserted a Notification as they appear for 5 seconds:

...

• After the Notification, I’ve used a Set Object Properties resource to make the spill disappear:

...

• Lastly, I’ve scripted a confirmation the task is complete:

Here is what the frames look like for the above scripting:
