What is the difference between a state action and an entry action and what is the Papyrus counterpart of a state action

I am playing around with the Spring state machine project and Eclipse Papyrus respectively.

I have two questions about actions:

  1. What is the difference between a so-called state action and an entry action of a State?
  2. What is the counterpart of a state action in Papyrus? The documentation describes only entry and exit actions.

Thanks a lot.

Can't tell about Papyrus, but you can specify tree different actions for state. You can use following methods to avoid confusion:

  • stateEntry - executed when entering the state.
  • stateDo - also referred as state's action. Executed when entered the state, technically is executed after entry action.
  • stateExit - executed prior to leaving the sate.

The long story short, state action is executed before entry action. If you need only one action for the state you can choose either.
