Library: lib_statemachine_modified (v6)
Types
StateRecord

Fields:
state (int): The state value recorded at a given moment.
bar_index (int): The bar index when that state was recorded.
StateMachine

Fields:
state (int): The current state of the machine (default 0).
neutral (int): The designated neutral (default) state.
enabled (bool): Flag to enable/disable state transitions.
reset_counter (int): Counter tracking how many times the reset condition has been met.
prior_state (int): The state immediately preceding the current state.
last_change_bar (int): The bar index at which the last state change occurred (or na if none).
last_distinct_prior_state (int): The last distinct state before the current transition.
stateHistory (StateRecord[]): An array storing a history of state transitions.
Methods
step(this, before, after, condition)

Namespace: StateMachine
Parameters:
this (StateMachine): The state machine instance.
before (int): The expected current state before the transition.
after (int): The target state to transition to.
condition (bool): Condition that triggers the transition.
Returns: (bool) — true if the state transition occurs; otherwise, false.
Notes:
If after differs from the current state, a new StateRecord is appended to stateHistory.
Updates prior_state, last_change_bar, and resets the reset_counter.
Overloaded step(this, after, condition)

Uses the current state as the expected before value.
Parameters:
this (StateMachine)
after (int): The target state.
condition (bool): Trigger condition.
Returns: (bool) — true if the state changed; otherwise, false.
currentState(this)

Parameters: this (StateMachine)
Returns: (int) — The current state.
previousState(this)

Parameters: this (StateMachine)
Returns: (int) — The state immediately prior to the current state change.
changedPriorToCurrentBar(this, within_bars)

Parameters:
this (StateMachine)
within_bars (int): Number of bars to look back for a state change (excluding the current bar).
Returns: (bool) — true if a state change occurred within the specified timeframe; otherwise, false.
didWeJustChangeThisBar(this)

Parameters: this (StateMachine)
Returns: (bool) — true if the state changed exactly on the current bar; otherwise, false.
didWeChangeFromTo(this, fromState, toState, within_bars)

Parameters:
this (StateMachine)
fromState (int): The state expected before the transition.
toState (int): The state expected after the transition.
within_bars (int): The timeframe (in bars) within which the transition should have occurred.
Returns: (bool) — true if the specific transition occurred recently; otherwise, false.
reset(this, condition, min_occurrences)

Parameters:
this (StateMachine)
condition (bool): The condition that may trigger a reset.
min_occurrences (int): The number of times the condition must be met before the reset occurs.
Returns: (bool) — true if the state machine was reset to the neutral state; otherwise, false.
getLatestState(this)

Parameters: this (StateMachine)
Returns: (int) — The latest recorded state from stateHistory (or na if none exists).
getLatestIndexOfState(this)

Parameters: this (StateMachine)
Returns: (int) — The bar index of the latest state record (or na if stateHistory is empty).
barsSinceState(this, searchState)

Parameters:
this (StateMachine)
searchState (int): The state to search for in the history.
Returns: (int) — The number of bars since the specified state was last active; returns na if that state has never been active.
Notes:
Iterates through stateHistory (accessed in reverse order) to find the most recent occurrence of searchState and computes the difference between the current bar index and the recorded bar index.
