Triggering condition on many instances of the same behavior

I created a behavior that can be added to a given object more than once. (Of course, each instance of my behavior will have a different name in the C2 editor.)

When triggering a condition from an action (using Runtime.trigger), it seems that the condition is triggered on all instances of my behavior. What I want to do is trigger the condition only on the behavior instance to which the action belongs. How can I do that ?

Cnds.prototype.OnStuffChange = function (name)
{
	return cr.equals_nocase(this.currentStuff, name);
};

// ...

Acts.prototype.ChangeStuff = function(name)
{
        this.currentStuff = name;

        // this is triggered on all instances of "MyBehavior", not only on "this"
        this.runtime.trigger(cr.behaviors.MyBehavior.prototype.cnds.OnStuffChange , this.inst);
};

I'm just getting started creating behaviors. I thought about saving an "activeInstanceName" globally and compare it with this.type.name in conditions. But that seems to be too much work for something this simple.

Because all instances had been selected in event sheet. You might check the SOL when calling this action.

If we were talking about plugins, I would completely agree with you. But in my case I'm working with a behavior that has many instances in the same object.

Quite frankly I'm not very sure how SOL for behavior instances work, how can you "select" a behavior instance in the event sheet ? The manual is not very clear on this subject.

Uh, yes, all conditions of this behavior will be triggered. You could add a flag to check which behavior instance need to be executed.

this.my_call = true;

this.runtime.trigger(cr.behaviors.MyBehavior.prototype.cnds.OnStuffChange , this.inst);

this.my_call = false;

And

Cnds.prototype.OnStuffChange = function ()

{

return this.my_call;

};

I was hoping for a built-in feature in the sdk that handles behavior instance picking.

My solution was to store a global variable "currentBehaviorInstanceName" inside the behavior's closure and set it to "this.type.name" before triggering a condition, then checking if the variable is equal to "this.type.name" inside the condition.

I think your solution is better, using a boolean is much simpler, plus, I try to avoid global variables as much as possible.

Thanks.
