Overview
Equip or Unequip allows the author to control the equipping or unequipping of an object through Storyflow. For example, this was used extensively in some PPE training scenarios Scenarios we created. When we wanted the learner to start with PPE “on” to learn doffing procedures we used this resource to “equip” them with the correct objects.
This is different from the “Equip” and “Unequip” resources under “Object Interactions”. The “Equip” and “Unequip” resource Resource is used when you want the learner to take the action (not have it automatically occur in the scenarioScenario).
Authoring Note
Wearable items such as a safety vest behave differently in the scenario Scenario based on a learner’s height or stature. You may find that after donning the vest or other item your the learner is wearing an item their view of tasks in the scene 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.
