			$else_activity = `false`
	)

Adds an activity to one of the lists attached to the node.

Parameters

ilActivity	$activity
boolean	$else_activity	True, if the activity should be an 'else'-activity.

			$else_emitter = `false`
	)

Adds an emitter to one of the lists attached to the node.

Parameters

ilEmitter	$emitter
boolean	$else_emitter	True, if the emitter should be an 'else'-emitter.

◆ attemptTransition()

ilPluginNode::attemptTransition ( )

Attempts to transit the node.

Basically, this checks for preconditions and transits, returning true or false if preconditions are not met, aka detectors are not fully satisfied.

Returns: boolean True, if transition succeeded.

◆ checkTransitionPreconditions()

ilPluginNode::checkTransitionPreconditions ( )

Checks, if the preconditions of the node to transit are met.

Please note, that in a conditional node, this means the node can transit to one or another outcome. This method only returns false, if the return value of the method is neither true nor false.

Returns: boolean True, if node is ready to transit.
