Scripting user actions

After a user action is created and customized, it is available for the application user, but nothing happens when triggering.

The developer must script the behavior that the user action performs.

• You can link to the action\userActionName\state parameter. This value either starts when pressed or stops when released.

• Use just one user action state when the action is punctual, such as showing/hiding something.

• Use both states when the action is continuous, such as turning or moving something.

Code example

This is a code example for scripting user actions.

<!-- example of punctual action handling -->

<route from="itemName.action\userActionName\state" to="aCommand.execute" condition="@itemName.action\userActionName\state@==started" />

<!-- example of continuous action handling -->

<route from="itemName.action\userActionName\state" to="aSound.play" condition="@itemName.action\userActionName\state@==started" />

<route from="itemName.action\userActionName\state" to="aSound.stop" condition="@itemName.action\userActionName\state@==stopped" />

User action logging

When the project involves the XR Instructor, customize the newly created actions for the Log panel.
