πŸ” Access internals

While inside a state or transition you can actually access to a lot of information about our state machine! To do this all you have to do is call self from within any of the virtual methods.

Here's an example of what you can access from within the state

-- Blue.Lua
local GoToRed = require(script.Parent.Parent.Transitions.GoToRed)
local ChangeColorState = require(script.Parent.ChangeColorState)

local Blue = ChangeColorState:Extend("Blue")
Blue.Transitions = {GoToRed}

function Blue:OnEnter()
print(self.Data) -- Get state machine data
self:ChangeState("Red") -- Changes the current state to Red
self:GetState() -- "Blue"
self:GetPreviousState() -- Gets the previous state this state machine was in before Blue
self:ChangeData() -- Changes data from the state machine
end


return Blue
