Definition
Scripts are the building blocks of Motive-powered training scenariosScenarios. Scripts, when bundled with the media Media files and other assets they call on, are what gets get sent to the headset or mobile device to make 3D scenes Scenes interactive.
Use
Scripts are comprised of several parts that work together to form a narrative. Frames , are contained within the Script and they hold the Script content. One or more Frames holds the Resources, Events, Conditions, and Variables that are all parts of a scriptScript.
...
All scenarios Scenarios typically start with a a Director Script. This is the script Script that will be launched when the scenario Scenario begins in VR. The Director Script is meant to control the flow of the scenario. Note that Director Scripts are not mandatory, it's simply a best practice for organizing your content.
As you create your scenario, you may have several or many individual scripts - but they all link back to the original Director Script. In my example, I’ve created four:
...
Each of my four scripts does different things. The "Launch Welcome Message" puts a message to the learner on the wall. The "Ambience" script directs music to come out of a speaker. The "Video Content" script plays a video for the learner. The "Launch Equip Hard Hat" allows the learner to interact with a hard hat in the scene, pick it up, and put it on her head.
When they all come together in the Director Script, I have a flowing scenario.
Create
There are two common ways:
Within the Scenarios tab, choose Add New Script:
...
Or, anywhere in Storyflow, you can click on the Scripts icon on the far right. From there choose the Script heading and then Add New Script.
...
Edit
To change the name of the script, simply click on the name and make your change. To change other elements of the script just choose the option you want to change and make a different selection or deletion.
Flow
As your scenario runs, the scripts will play unless you've specified conditions that would cause one script to run before the next. This action is called end script or close script. For example, when a learner enters my scenario I want them to see a Welcome Message on the wall. Once they've read it and clicked "close", then a video plays. If I don't end the script for the Welcome Message then BOTH will play simultaneously and the learner will see a Welcome Message at the same time that a video starts playing. We handle this situation with Conditions.
...
Therefore, it's suggested that you always end a script before moving to the next. That way if you need to add any conditions, it is much easier than going backward.
