Overview
The Point At object interaction At Object Interaction emits an event Event once the learner points toward the specified object(s) with their controller. The author can specify the length of time in which the pointing must be held before the event Event is emitted.
An example of how the Point At object interaction At Object Interaction could be used is when a character in the scene Scene is asking the learner where they can find a specific object. Once the learner points at the object for a few seconds, the scenario Scenario can progress.
Required Fields
...
Title | Description |
|---|---|
World Object | The object in the scene the learner is to point at. |
Optional Fields
Title | Description |
|---|---|
Require All Targets | 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 |
Frame as well. | |
Point At Duration | Length of time the learner must point at the object before the |
Event is emitted (closed, complete, etc...). | |
Event | Determine an |
Event or Custom Event to fire along with any other |
Events that would normally fire. This field is generally used to distinguish between different options for branching. | |
Require All Inputs | If more than one Input is designated, this would require all. |
Persistent | Will stay open and continue listening for Input and will continue to fire scripted |
Events. If this is chosen, the close |
Event cannot be used as it doesn't close. | |
Interacted Objects | If multiple World Objects are identified, you can add a |
Variable here that contains a record of the World Objects the learner has interacted with and the |
Variable then affects only those in that list. |
Events
Activate, Open, Close (if not persistent), Complete, and Custom.
