Overview

The Equip object The Equip object interaction emits an event Event once the learner takes a specified object onto a target. The target must be an object that is specified in an Equip Target resourcean Equip Target Resource.

An example of how the Equip object the Equip object interaction could be used is when the learner needs to equip different types of PPE (personal protective equipment, i.e. mask, gown) or safety equipment before progressing through the scenarioScenario. Once the learner equips the correct objects, the scenario Scenario progresses.

Authoring Note

Wearable items such as a safety vest behave differently in the Scenario based on a learner’s height or stature. You may find that after the learner is wearing an item their view of tasks in the Scene is obstructed. You do have the ability to make these PPE items invisible after putting them on. You would do so using the Set Object Properties Resource.

If more than one World Object is designated, this would require all.  Otherwise referred to as Target Object.

Prompts

Add an effect or text to draw attention to the item you'd like the learner to.

Prompt Anchor

Object Interaction prompts without an anchor will end up on the object you are targeting because they’re meant as annotation or extra information about the object in question. If you want to accompany an Object Interaction with additional information for the learner, you could add a Notification or Screen Message to the
