<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>Hi all,
I'm revisiting this thread, and unclear how to actually execute the save of a
character. And, I'm starting to realize how rough I've made things for myself
and my students...
As a group, we're trying to animate the short story "Harrison Bergeron" by
Vonnegut. The class split into groups, and were breaking down the scenes,
characters, and so on. I'm now seeing how hard it is to share code, characters,
and so on between projects in Alice... if, for that matter, at all.
1. Is it at all possible to share code between worlds? I think the answer to
this is no, but I have to ask.
2. Is it at all possible to share characters between worlds? It looks like
"yes," but I'm starting to think that a "character" is just the actor... and, if
the students decorated that actor with objects (and made it so those objects
rode with the actor as a "vehicle,") that the add-on objects would not be
exported.
In other words, I feel like I accidentally set my students up for some serious
failure, because we chose to break a project up across groups, but those groups
won't actually be able to share anything. I can't have one group work on a dance
scene (there is one in Harrison Bergeron), and then share that code with another
group who is doing some other part of that scene (perhaps camera work, for
example).
Either way, I'm not clear where I need to do the right-clicking from the
description below. I've switched to a number of views in Alice3, but no amount
of right clicking seems to bring up a menu from which I can export a character.
Cheers,
Matt

Laurie,
The character was not automatically saved... They must
- right-click on the character, either in the scene or in the object-tree, and
choose the Save as... menu option
- name and save the file
- in the new project, from the file menu, choose Import, find and select the
saved character file to ring into the project
Let me know if you have any other questions or if this does not work for you...
All the best,
Don Slater

My students (very beginner students) created their own hero for their animated
story, using the He-builder in the Gallery. They each named their person, and it
worked great in their story. However, is he saved to be used another time? We
can't seem to find him?
