Title: Return to previous state? [SOLVED]
Post by: jasonlee on April 26, 2011, 09:40:00 PM

Sometimes, when entered a state via global transition, it's necessary to return to previous state when exit. How to achieve that in playmaker? Thanks.

I am also wondering if this can be done. I am creating triggers for different states, but would like the state to return to the previous state if possible. Right now I am creating a whole bunch duplicated states without being able to do this...

Hi,
 
 The technic I use for this kind of situation is to create a flow that can be started from the same state and knows its way around to reach where it left off. Basically, when I have a series of actions, I check if I need to do it, else continue, therefore I always have only one way to trigger my actions: from the top. Then if for any reasons it's interrupted, I simply call the top state.

Else, you could maybe explain the exact feature that you want to create, we'll certainly find a working solution for you.

Bye,

 Jean

1.2 has a new Goto Previous State action that should make this easier!
