QState

[wysota]

Did you try simply grouping states?

Something alone the lines of:

QState *masterState = new QState;
QState *s1 = new QState(masterState);
QState *s2 = new QState(masterState);
QState *s3 = new QState(masterState);
QState *s4 = new QState(masterState);
masterState->setInitialState(s1);
machine.addState(masterState);
masterState->addTransition(signalEmitter, SIGNAL(received_1()), s1);
masterState->addTransition(signalEmitter, SIGNAL(received_2()), s2);
masterState->addTransition(signalEmitter, SIGNAL(received_3()), s3);
masterState->addTransition(signalEmitter, SIGNAL(received_4()), s4);

QState *masterState = new QState;
QState *s1 = new QState(masterState);
QState *s2 = new QState(masterState);
QState *s3 = new QState(masterState);
QState *s4 = new QState(masterState);
masterState->setInitialState(s1);
machine.addState(masterState);
masterState->addTransition(signalEmitter, SIGNAL(received_1()), s1);
masterState->addTransition(signalEmitter, SIGNAL(received_2()), s2);
masterState->addTransition(signalEmitter, SIGNAL(received_3()), s3);
masterState->addTransition(signalEmitter, SIGNAL(received_4()), s4);

Wysota, thanks for answer, but unfortunately, I didn't understand you or your state machine is a "one way ticket" machine

QState *masterState = new QState;
    QState *s1 = new QState(masterState);
    QState *s2 = new QState(masterState);
    QState *s3 = new QState(masterState);
    QState *s4 = new QState(masterState);
    masterState->setInitialState(s1);
    machine.addState(masterState);
    masterState->addTransition(signalEmitter, SIGNAL(received_1()), s1);
    masterState->addTransition(signalEmitter, SIGNAL(received_2()), s2);
    masterState->addTransition(signalEmitter, SIGNAL(received_3()), s3);
    masterState->addTransition(signalEmitter, SIGNAL(received_4()), s4);

QState *masterState = new QState;
    QState *s1 = new QState(masterState);
    QState *s2 = new QState(masterState);
    QState *s3 = new QState(masterState);
    QState *s4 = new QState(masterState);
    masterState->setInitialState(s1);
    machine.addState(masterState);
    masterState->addTransition(signalEmitter, SIGNAL(received_1()), s1);
    masterState->addTransition(signalEmitter, SIGNAL(received_2()), s2);
    masterState->addTransition(signalEmitter, SIGNAL(received_3()), s3);
    masterState->addTransition(signalEmitter, SIGNAL(received_4()), s4);

You got only one way transitions, when you go to state s1, you don't have any transition that will let you to go back from it... Or I'd simply not understand you. Please came back with a more extensive example

anda_skoa for this example I didn't need this kind of functionality, but I'll probably need this in the future, thanks for answer

Did you try my code? The idea is that all the child states inherit transitions from the parent state so each of the four transitions defined in the parent state should work in any of the child states. I haven't tested it but it should work, if I understood the docs correctly.

I tried to get it working, but unfortunately I get stuck in initial child state
