Send & Receive Messages

Components are isolated from each other and scenes, meaning triggers and responses within a component cannot be assigned to layers and variables outside of it. The same applies to triggers and responses in a scene or nested component, which cannot be assigned to layers and variables within a component.

To overcome this limitation, you can utilize the Send response and Receive trigger. Within the component, you can send a message using the Send response, and it can be received by a Receive trigger located outside of this specific component (in a scene, parent component, or child component). This communication can also work in reverse.

Of course, it is also possible to send and receive messages exclusively within the component itself.
