Events

​

Types of Events

Events come in two groups depending on how they are created in the Creator App.

​

Directly addable from the event picker

When you add an event to a transition, the picker offers exactly three types:

​

Created automatically by Show Panel

You don’t pick these from the event picker. They appear on transitions for you when you configure a Show Panel action.

​

Event Details

​

Tap Event

The learner clicks or taps a specific 3D object in the scene. Configuration options:

• Event Description: A label describing the tap interaction (e.g., “Tap 5272426_MCS_PARTIAL001”)
• Target Objects: Which object(s) the learner must tap
• Instruction Animation: Optional. Show a ghosted hand that demonstrates the correct tap location. Toggle on/off to guide learners.
• Highlight Training Object: Optional. Highlight the target object to draw attention.

Example: State “Wait for Valve Tap” has a Tap event on the valve object with instruction animation and highlight enabled.

​

Move Event

The learner physically moves an object to a target position. Configuration options:

• Object to Interact: Which object the learner must move
• Target Location: The destination, defined by a Reference Object and Position (X, Y, Z), Rotation, and Scale values
• Interaction Settings:
  • Requires Both Hands: Whether the learner needs to use both hands to move the object
  • Requires Precise Positioning: If on, the object must be moved to an exact location within a tolerance
  • Instruction Animation: Show a ghosted animation demonstrating the correct movement

Example: State “Move the Pump” has a Move event where the learner must slide the pump along the X-axis to a specific position.

​

Rotate Event

The learner rotates an object around an axis. Configuration options:

• Object to Rotate: Which object the learner must rotate
• Rotation Axis: Which axis to rotate around (x, y, or z)
• Target Angle: The rotation amount in degrees required to trigger the transition (e.g., 90)
• Enforce Rotation Direction: When enabled, the learner must rotate in the correct direction (clockwise vs counter-clockwise)
• Highlight Training Object: Optional. Highlight the object to draw attention.

Example: State “Open the Valve” has a Rotate event where the learner must turn the valve 90 degrees on the Y axis.

​

Choice Event

Generated automatically when a Show Panel action has choices configured. Each choice produces a separate Choice event you can route with its own transition and condition. How to set it up:

1. In a step’s On Entry, add a Show Panel action.
2. In the panel parameters, add the choices the learner will see.
3. Open the Transitions tab. A transition is created for each choice. Pick the Destination Step for each one.

Example: Step “Safety Quiz” runs Show Panel with three choices. The Transitions tab shows three Choice transitions — one per option. “Option A: Check the gauge” goes to “Correct Answer”; “Option B” goes to “Incorrect Answer”.

​

Next Event

Generated automatically when a Show Panel action has its Next button enabled. Transitions on that step can listen for Next and move to whatever step you pick as the destination. How to set it up:

1. In a step’s On Entry, add a Show Panel action.
2. In the panel parameters, enable Next.
3. Open the Transitions tab. A Next transition is available. Pick the Destination Step.

Example: Step “Show Instructions” displays a panel with Next enabled. When the learner clicks Next, the transition to “Start Activity” fires.

​

How Events Trigger Transitions

Here’s the flow:

1. The learner does something (taps, moves, rotates, picks a choice, clicks Next)
2. The corresponding event is triggered
3. The Creator App checks all transitions from the current step that listen for this event
4. If a transition has a condition, the condition is evaluated. If it’s false, this transition is skipped.
5. If the transition has no condition (or the condition is true), the transition fires
6. The training moves to the destination step

Next Steps

Learn how to:

• Add Conditions to Transitions — Make events trigger different states based on learner choices or variables
• Use Variables in Conditions — Store data and use it to control event behavior
