States

Introduction

States are collection of variables which can be used to represent a component or screen configuration. States can be used for a variety of situations including:

• Defining the appearance of a UI element such as Enabled, Disabled, Highlighted, and Pushed

• Defining positions for interpolation and animation such as OffScreen and OnScreen

• Defining start/end or empty/full states for interpolation such as AmmoFull and AmmoEmpty

• Defining appearance in response to game-specific status such as NotJoined and PlayerJoined.

Every element automatically includes a Default state which cannot be removed. This state is automatically selected and any changes made to a component happen on the Default state unless a different state is selected.
