Overview
The Menu Option object The Menu Option object interaction emits an event Event once the user learner interacts with the Menu Option that appears on the specified object. The author can specify the text or image displayed on the menu option.
An example of how the Menu Option object the Menu Option object interaction could be used is when the user a speaker in the environment and the learner can interact with a particular object in many different ways. In this case, it would be useful to display a menu option with a list of different choices.

Required Fields

Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
World Objects | The object the menu is anchored on. |
Input Options - Text and Image | The text and/or image to be displayed as an option(s). |
Optional Fields
Field Name | 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 |

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
End Script Resource
If there is an End Script Resource in the same Script as the Menu Option and it fires before the learner can complete the interaction with the Menu Option, then the Menu Option will close. To address this, you can set up the scripting to run the End Script after the Menu Option interaction is done.
Example in the Headset
In the Workshop, I've created a menu that works with Dynamic Variables to adjust the volume of the music to be louder or softer.

This is the result in the headset:
...
Motive Lab, I’ve set up a menu to appear on the Sonicator equipment and the learner will choose the time to apply to the Sonicator.
(Optional) Add a message with instructions:
...
Add the Menu Option Resource with the World Object chosen, the instructions, and the options for the learner to choose from:
...
You can then Script what will happen when each option is chosen:
...
Note: If you want to replay the menu if certain options are chosen, you can use the Replay resource as shown above. Ensure you check “Ignore Previous” in the Replay frame to prevent an infinite loop:

Here is what the above will look like in the headset:
