States provides a convenient way to initialize a show effect with a certain set of parameters. The show effect state system leverages the animation system. Any fields that can be animated can be saved as a state. It also provides a way to have multiple, easily-swappable, static configurations of a single set of scene objects without needing to create sequences.

Recording a State

To create a new save state, make sure that the show effect is in Edit Mode. Under the Effect States dropdown, left-click New State to create a new, unpopulated state cache. Set the values that you wish to save to the state (Note: the only parameters that can be saved are those that can be animated). Left-clicking on Record State will save the current values to the selected state. The state can be renamed by modifying the Name field.

Restoring a State

There are two ways of syncing a show effect and its contents to a state. Any recorded state can be loaded by selecting it from the inspector dropdown and then left-clicking the Load State button. Alternatively, Show Effect State Events can be triggered from the timeline, which allows a state to be loaded when the event is started.
