Question

Changing obect states with JS

  • October 22, 2016

I found this function elsewhere on the forum:  

cp.changeState("currentState,"newState");

So if my current state is "Normal" (Default) and the new state is called "Chosen" - I assume I can just add Javascript to a button with the line:

cp.changeState("Normal","Chosen");

 

And this should change the state on button click.

 

But this doesn't seem to work.  Could somebody explain where I'm going wrong?

    It's actually cp.changeState("objectName","newState");

    Thanks for the reply - 

     

    cp.changeState("IR_Alpha","Normal (Default)"); <-- randomly tried this just in case... doesn't work
    cp.changeState("IR_Beta","onState"); <-- works
    cp.changeState("IR_Gamma","normal"); <-- doesn't work
    cp.changeState("IR_Xray","Orange"); <-- works

     

    So I can manipulate the states fine, but as the OP asked, how do you return to the default original state?

     

    thanks!

    Make it "Normal" (with upper case N; and without the " (Default)" suffix). Should work.
