# Run State Machine Node

Executes a node from State Machine asset.

## Description

This instruction triggers execution of a specific node directly on a State Machine asset. Unlike runner instructions, this affects the asset itself and all runners using it.

## Parameters

| Name     | Description                                          |

## Keywords

## Example

```
Actions Component:
└─ Run State Machine Node
    └─ Node: "GlobalEventNode"

This executes the "GlobalEventNode" on the State Machine asset.
