Project-level Actions

Project-level Actions enable you to use events to drive actions such as Load Screen, or to play Sounds.

To create an action:

  1. Select Actions from the Solution Explorer tree.

  2. Click Add New Action.

  3. Define the Event Name, select an Event Trigger, and the resultant Action.

    Note

    • The Event Trigger must be linked to a Set Coil.

    • The coil is automatically reset by the OS after the Action is executed.

  4. If the Action requires you to select an entity, such as a screen or sound file, make your selection in the Properties window.
