Interactable Items​

The Interactable Items showcase is an example of how you can have an Inworld character react to the player interacting with objects in a scene.

This showcase utilizes Intents, Parameters and Character Mutations.

Interactable Items Showcase

Before you can interact with the items in the showcase you must first enable the interactable goals by greeting Mr. Toyman.

intents:
  - name: "greeting"
    training_phrases:
      - "hi"
      - "hello"
      - "what's up"
      - "yo"

goals:
  - name: "greeting"
    enabled_by_default: true
    repeatable: false
    activation:
      intent: "greeting"
      motivation: "player says hello"
    actions:
      - instruction: "Ask the player which item they are interested in"
        send_trigger: enable_interactables
        character_changes:
          set_emotion: INTEREST
          enable_goals:
            - "item_interacted"
            - "doll_interacted"
            - "angry_interacted"

Once you have greeted Mr. Toyman you can interact with the Toy Rocket or Innequin Miniature by hovering over the object (the reticle turns green) and left-clicking on it.

Interactable Items Innequin Miniature

Interacting with the Innequin Miniature changes its skin and triggers the item_interacted goal.

goals:
  - name: "item_interacted"
    enabled_by_default: false
    repeatable: true
    activation: 
      trigger: "item_interacted"
    actions: 
      - instruction: "Acknowledge {player} {{p.action}} the {{p.item}} and tell them something about that {{p.item}}."

This object has the Material Change Interactable component attached to it which defines the Action and Item parameters in the item_interacted trigger sent from the client.
