Hi,

Currently, there is a way to define a trigger which its signal is any message of a specific protocol.

Is there any way to define a trigger which its signal is set to any message from any protocol (i.e., all incoming messages)?

Thanks
Mojtaba

When you create a trigger, you can specify multiple ports. The trigger dialog should show all the capsule ports on the left, with checkboxes. You can check on all of them, and then on the right-pane check * (AnyEvent). This will listen to any event on any of the selected ports.

See the attached example.

Thanks a lot, Ernesto.
That would be great if we could set "*" at the port level too. it is more user-friendly and I think It can decrease the generated code size.
My issue is that I am trying to defer all messages in some states programmatically, so having "*" at port level can save me some time and make my implementation much easier.
Anyway, for now, I will do what you suggest, but I think it is a good feature to be added. If you agree I can submit a bug.

Thanks
Mojtaba

I'm not sure what you mean by "That would be great if we could set "*" at the port level too. " You can do exactly that when you create a trigger. If you select a port, "*" is the first option. It's the same whereas it's one port or many.

Since its one trigger with one or more ports on the same transition and a transition has only one action, the action is the same for all of these events, and the function generated is one and has UMLRTMessage * msg as parameter to you can do
