Overview
The Object Event Condition is met if a Resource emits the specified Event. This is a very commonly used Condition.
An example of this would be a Screen Message firing off “Option 1” when a learner answers an on-screen question, or a “Close” event when a Screen Message is closed.
Required Fields
Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
Script Object | Specifies the object to listen to that will fire the Event. |
Event | Specifies the Event being listened for. This is the Event that must be fired in order for this Condition to be true. |
Optional Fields
Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
Negate Result | Specifies if the result is negated. If the object does not emit the specified Event, then the Condition is met. For example, if there is a Screen Message Resource and the learner does not close the message then the Event would fire because the message was never closed. |
Ignore Previous | Specifies if the Condition is listening only for the most current Event emitted by the object. |
Example in Action
I want to create a Script that will welcome the learner to the training session and show them a video.
1. Create a Screen Message with instructions:
2. Go to the bottom of the Resource and click on the Event Link Shortcut (the blue + symbol). This will create a new child frame with an Object Event Condition for you.
3. Fill out the Object Event:
What we've done is created a script that says "When the screen message fires and the learner clicks the OK button, then play the video".
