To switch between states in a State Graph, you must use a Script Graph called a transition.
For more information on State Graphs, see [State Graphs](vs-graph-types.md#state-graphs).
## Create a transition with an embedded Script Graph
To create a new transition to another state with an embedded graph in a State Graph:
1. With a State Graph [open in the Graph window](vs-open-graph-edit.md), do one of the following:
- Right-click on the state where you want to make a transition, then in the context menu, select **Make Transition**.
- Select the state where you want to make a transition, then press Ctrl+click and drag away from your selected state.
2. Do one of the following:
- Select or release while on an existing state in your State Graph to connect the states with a transition.
- Select or release while on an empty space in the Graph Editor to automatically create a new blank Script State at the end of your transition.
3. Select your transition node.
1. Open the [Graph Inspector](vs-interface-overview.md#the-graph-inspector).
1. In the Graph Inspector, set the **Source** to **Embed**.
1. In the **(Title)** field, enter a title for your transition's Script Graph.
1. In the **(Summary)** field, enter a brief descriptive summary of your transition's Script Graph.
> [!NOTE]
> If you choose to use an embedded transition Script Graph, Visual Scripting automatically provides the Trigger Transition node you need for the graph.
## Create a transition with an external Script Graph file
To create a new transition with a graph asset file in a State Graph:
1. With a State Graph [open in the Graph window](vs-open-graph-edit.md), do one of the following:
- Right-click on the state where you want to make a transition, then in the context menu, select **Make Transition**.
- Select the state where you want to make a transition, then press Ctrl+click and drag away from your selected state.
2. Do one of the following:
- Select or release while on an existing state in your State Graph to connect the states with a transition.
- Select or release while on an empty space in the Graph Editor to automatically create a new blank Script State at the end of your transition.
3. Select your transition node.
1. Open the [Graph Inspector](vs-interface-overview.md#the-graph-inspector).
1. In the Graph Inspector, set the **Source** to **Graph**.
1. Do one of the following:
- Select the object picker (circle icon). Select a Script Graph from your project.
- Click and drag a Script Graph file from your Project window and release on the **Graph** field.
- Select **New** and [create a new Script Graph](vs-create-graph.md).
4. Double-click the new transition node to open the transition Script Graph.
## Create a self transition with an embedded Script Graph
To create a new self transition for a state in a State Graph:
1. With a State Graph [open in the Graph window](vs-open-graph-edit.md), right-click on the state where you want to make the transition.
2. In the context menu, select **Make Self Transition**.
Visual Scripting attaches a new Self Transition node to the state in the State Graph automatically.
3. Select your transition node.
1. Open the [Graph Inspector](vs-interface-overview.md#the-graph-inspector).
1. In the Graph Inspector, set the **Source** to **Embed**.
1. In the **(Title)** field, enter a title for your transition's Script Graph.
1. In the **(Summary)** field, enter a brief descriptive summary of your transition's Script Graph.
4. Double-click the new self transition to open the transition Script Graph.
> [!NOTE]
> If you choose to use an embedded transition Script Graph, Visual Scripting automatically provides the Trigger Transition node you need for your graph.

To create a new transition with a graph asset file in a State Graph:
1. With a State Graph [open in the Graph window](vs-open-graph-edit.md), right-click on the state where you want to make the transition.
2. In the context menu, select **Make Self Transition**.
Visual Scripting attaches a new Self Transition node to the state in the State Graph automatically.
1. Open the [Graph Inspector](vs-interface-overview.md#the-graph-inspector).
1. In the Graph Inspector, set the **Source** to **Graph**.
1. Do one of the following:
- Select the object picker (circle icon). Select a Script Graph from your project.
- Click and drag a Script Graph file from your Project window and release on the **Graph** field.
- Select **New** and [create a new Script Graph](vs-create-graph.md).
4. Double-click the new transition node to open the transition Script Graph.
