Alternative

The CrowdBeOpAlternative is used to select one connection among several connections and conditions.

 

 

Indeed, each connection is allocated a Trigger (shown by a bubble on the link) and an evaluation order. When the Alternative Operator is evaluated, the first Trigger is evaluated: if true, the related connection is selected, othewise the next Trigger is evaluated and so on …

 

If all Triggers are false (e.g. no connection has been selected), the default connection (the link without bubble) is then selected. If no default connection is set, the Alternative Operator is blocking.

 

Creating an Alternative Operator can be performed through the following options:

This part describes the specific manipulations to perform in order to configure an Alternative Operator.

 

In the Behavior Editor, if the Alternative Operator is not followed by a default connection, the next link drawn will define the default connection.

 

 

When a default connection is already in place, every future link drawn will define another connection, with a true CrowdTrigger by default, keeping the previous order. This trigger will be used to make a if (trigger) then… else if… statement

 

 

Tip: If a Trigger is set as a condition, select it by clicking on the bubble of the related connection.

 

An Alternative Operator defines the following specific attributes. To get more information about shared parameters, see part 9.3.2.

 

 

Add	Add the next condition (e.g. the next Behavior/Operator connected to a new link with a condition), this behavior must be a child of the parent Behavior Container. When several connections are establish, the labels "if" and "else if" defined the evaluation order Conditions of an alternative operator with connections
Else	Select a default Behavior/Operator.
