Resources are the building blocks of a frameFrame. They are used to control interactions, display media, and UI elements, control characters, alter 3D objects, and create assessmentsAssessments. When a frame Frame in a script Script opens, resources Resources "activate". Sometimes they remain active (like a persistent UI element or a looping animation) and sometimes they "close". An author can use this "close" event Event (and other events emitted by resourcesResources) to control the flow of a script.a Script.
Location
When you open a Script in Storyflow you will find the Resources in a tab on the right hand side. To use Resources, you drag and drop them into the “Resources” area in the middle of your screen:

Motive 3D The 3D |
Resources are used for placing, moving, and altering the 3D objects in the |
Scene. | Give coordinates to set an |
Anchor in the |
Scene | |||
Control the colour, visibility, and light of an object | Yes | ||
Move the learner to another location in the |
Scene | ||
Move an object to another location in the |
Scene | ||
A positional |
Anchor specifically for UI - it orients the UI toward the learner | ||
Allows you to insert a positional |
Anchor into the |
Scene | ||
Introduce a 3D |
Asset into the |
Scene | Yes | |
An intractable object in the |
Scene - must be added if you want to use it in a |
Script | None | |
To add or remove equipment to/from another object in the |
Scene | ||
A defined area in a VR |
Scene | ||
If there are several of the same kind of object in a |
Scene (ex: rubber gloves in a box) this allows you to target the one the learner interacts with |
Indicate the target of an equippable object (can be on the learner's body or on another object) | |||
To add animations or particle effects to an item |
Yes | ||||
Annotation (Part of 3D) | Creates a persistent label on an object | Yes | ||
An area in the environment the learner can interact with. | Activate (“Select” will be most commonly used) | Yes | ||
Object Interactions Object interactions dictate the way the learner is meant to interact with the objects in the |
Scene. | The learner turns toward or away from an object in the scene | |||
The learner points at an item with the VR controller | ||||
Adds a multi-option menu to an object in the |
Scene | ||
The learner picks up an item and uses it on another item in the |
Scene | |||
The learner looks at an object for a specified amount of time | |||
Changes the state of an object (for example: open, closed) | |||
The learner points at items and clicks ("selects") | |||
The learner picks up an object and places it "on" themselves (like clothing or equipment) or another object in the |
Scene | |||
The learner picks the object up and puts it down on a predetermined target | |||
The learner "uses" an object (like spraying a hose or dispensing hand sanitizer) | |||
The learner removes equipment from themselves or other objects |
Emits an event once the learner removes the specified object(s) from a target
The learner picks up an item by grasping | |||
The learner places a hand on an object | |||
Scene Effect | Fade the |
Scene in or out | |||
Manipulate colouring and more in environment | Yes | ||
Add different effects to sounds in the environment | Yes | ||
Character Actions The set of Character Action |
Resources allow you to control the characters in the |
Scene. | Have a character walk to an object | |||
Have the character look at the trainee or other items in the |
Scene | Activate, Close (if you use a Hold Duration), Complete (if you use a Hold Duration) | |
Have the character reach for an object |
Activate, Close (if you use a Hold Duration), Complete (if you use a Hold Duration) | |
Have a character turn to an object |
Have the character speak an audio file | |||
Apply facial expressions to a character | |||
Motive Core The core |
Resources are for managing |
Scripts, |
Frames, and |
Variables. | End the current script: ends all scrips launched by the current script as well |
Can fire Success/Fail on any "Launch New Scripts" Resources that launched current Script. | |||
This allows you to set a state that can be used to mark progress, or make decisions (eg. stage one complete) | Can emit a system state event | ||
End an active |
Resource |
Launches a new |
Script from the current |
Script |
Create a custom |
Event to use in later |
Frames |
Close, and Custom Event | |
Sets up a series of behaviours that belong to an object in the |
Scene. These behaviours are monitored by |
Variables |
Enables the author to close the targeted |
Frame | ||
Replays the specified |
Frame | None | |
A way to track progress in a |
Scenario - create a list of important points in the narrative, mark when those points occur | Can emit a story point |
Event | ||
Motive Learning | Allows authors to determine whether or not a learner has completed and/or passed a |
Scenario |
Display the results of the training |
Scenario to the learner in the VR |
Scene | ||||
Inquiry | Select the right object from the group presented - answers can dictate branching | Open, Activate, Close, Complete, Correct, Incorrect, Author generated: (Option 1-4, success, failure, deactivate, etc.) | ||
Multiple choice question - answers can dictate branching |
Activate, Close, Complete, Correct, Incorrect, Author generated: (Option 1-4, success, failure, deactivate, etc.) | ||||
Assessment Item | A numerical score | |||
Tracks complete/incomplete | ||||
Tracks pass/fail | ||||
A numerical score presented as a fraction (ie: 15/20) |
Timed Outcome
Tracks the time taken for a task (note that this feature is still experimental at the writing of this document)
Motive UI UX and UI elements in the |
Scene. | Inspector Inspectors appear on interaction by the learner (like click an item to reveal more information).
| (See individual articles for Events Emitted) | ||
Guides Guides are persistent - they are not dismissible by the learner they can be in the following forms:
| (See individual articles for Events Emitted) | |||
Playable Content Playable Content resources are interactive panels that the learner can look at and then dismiss with a click (in the case of Screen |
Media and |
Screen Message). They are transient in the |
Scene (they end).
