State trigger issues

Post by Victorcg » 21 Mar 2010, 21:40

Hello all.
Just run into such issue:
I have several states with "Group Geometry -> Test inside geometry" triggers for each. And XSI just crashes or hangs if I try to group at least one geometry for each trigger! So I should duplicate every peace of geometry for every trigger of every state to make XSI work correctly. And there are a lot of dups!

Am I doing something wrong?
XSI 7.01

Thank You.

Tried to reproduce your crash (using 2010SP1) and couldn't...
Could well be an issue with 7.01, that was fixed later on.
I have however read somewhere that states are/were highly unstable.
Is there any way you could avoid states (by using lots of if-nodes for instance)?
And if not, could you show us the ICE Tree you're working on, so we can get a feel for its complexity? ;)
Stay safe, sane & healthy!
