Set State

Use a Set State course card in Beast Core 4 Courseware Editor to change the state(s) of any component(s) in the Digital Twin.

Usage

Use the Set State card to set the initial load State(s) of Component(s) you want a learner to navigate to, locate, or interact with.

Use Case Example 1

Scenario: You want a learner to locate and open a specific undamaged component.

1. Add the course Cards shown in the chart below to your lesson

2. On the Set State card, use the search box to find your desired component

   • Set the following initial load states for your selected component:

     • Undamaged

     • Shut

3. On the Interact card, type: Open $component in the Objective Message textbox and select the desired component

4. In the learner view, this component will be in the shut state when the learner initially locates it

5. The learner must interact with this component and change its state to open to progress the lesson

Use Case Example 2

Scenario: You are planning a lesson in which the learner must change the states of several different components in the Avatar Viewer environment.

1. You only need one Environment: Avatar Viewer course card (at the beginning of this segment of the lesson)

2. You can use a single Set State card to set the initial load states for all components your learner will interact with in this section

3. Use a separate set of Go To, Find, and Interact cards for each component state change interaction
