The execution modes determine how the actions of a trigger are processed.
Basics
If you assign more than one action to a trigger, this series of actions is called an action stack. You can use the execution mode to determine the way in which the individual actions of the action stack are processed.
You can change the order of actions in an action stack simply by dragging and dropping, pressing the mouse button on an action, dragging the action to the gap between two other actions of the same stack, and releasing the mouse there.
The following options are available:
Execution Modes
- All at once: All actions are called at once
- One after another: All actions are called one after another in the order of the action stack.
- One per Trigger: Exactly one action is executed, on the next trigger the next action in the action stack, and so on. In this mode you have additional options for repetition, see below.
- Randomly, one after another: All actions of the action stack are called one after another in random order. I.e.: every time the trigger fires, every action of the stack is executed, but always in a different order.
- Randomly, only one: Exactly one action is executed that is randomly selected from the action stack. I.e.: every time the trigger fires, one action of the stack is executed randomly. The next time the trigger is triggered, an action of the entire stack is randomly selected again. It does not matter which actions have been executed before. It is the same as with a dice: there, the 6 does not disappear even if it has already been rolled once, but there is a chance to get a 6 in the next roll as well.
For the One per Trigger mode, the following additional options are available:
Execution Options
- Loop Infinitely: The action stack is repeated after processing.
- Don't repeat cycle: The action stack is processed once, then nothing more happens.
- Stay on last after first cycle: The action stack is processed once, then the last action is always executed again.
Working with Execution Modes
Once you have assigned more than one action to a trigger, you can select the desired execution mode for the actions of this trigger via dropdown in the side panel (directly below the trigger name).
