# 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.

> [!NOTE]
> 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 the words **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

| Course Card Order for Above Use Case |
| --- |
|  | Environment: Avatar Viewer |
|  | Go To: (Space) |
|  | Set State |
|  | Go To: (Component) |
|  | Find: (Component) |
|  | Interact: (with Component) (Select the “state” change(s) the learner must select to progress the lesson) |

> [!NOTE]
> 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
