Parameters

name

Type: SystemString
The name of the Transition to identify the Transition for debugging and tracing purposes. Must be unique within the StateMachineTemplate.

sourceState

Type: SystemString
The name of a State instance that defines the Transition source-State.

targetState

Type: SystemString
The name of a State instance that defines the Transition target-State.

triggerEvent

Type: SystemObject
A Object that represents the trigger event that will execute the transition or null to indicate an "any" transition. See also SendTriggerEvent(Object).

The sourceState may only reference a State that is a sub-State of the anchor-State.

The targetState may reference any State within this StateMachineTemplate.

Usually the sourceState will be identical with the name of the State defined through the enclosing StateMachineTemplate.State Overload ... EndState statements.

In some cases it may be useful to define a Transition on a higher hierarchical level in order to raise the Transition's priority above other transitions that would otherwise be handled premptive due to their hierarchy level. For such cases the sourceState will reference a State that is hierachically nested within the immediate enclosing StateMachineTemplate.State Overload ... EndState statement pair.
