How to manage the order of execution when using 'Send Event' action

[GMPlay]

PLEASE REFER TO THE IMAGE ATTACHED.

I am trying to figure out if there is a RULE for order of execution of Send Event actions on the same fsm.

Further more, what is the best practice to manage order of execution when using Send Event?

Hi.
The events are 'Started' from top to bottom, but they do not wait until the previous one is 'Finished'

if you right click on a empty space in the State window, you can 'enable sequence'.
This way the actions will wait until the previous one is finished.

sending multiple events to a fsm in the same frame can give issues as the state might not have finished all its actions yet and go to the next sendet event.

Thank You Good Sir!! 

It seems I have somehow managed to completely skip "Action Update Order" tutorial on the Playmaker Youtube channel. Being a newbie I didn't even know there was such a thing 'Action Sequence'

This solves many issues I was having and I have been going  :-\crazy due to those, as my algorithms worked in theory but did not yield expected results in implementation.

If you hadn't mentioned action sequence I wouldn't have known.

Thanks again.
