Coordinating multi-panel Rive interactions without a central controller involves using a PanelController state machine to listen for neighborSignal inputs and emit signals to adjacent panels. This approach enables scalable wave effects across touch installations.

Neighbor signaling in Rive works by having a PanelController emit signals to adjacent panels when touched, triggering coordinated light or animation responses. This creates a wave effect by sequentially propagating the interaction across multiple panels.

To prevent feedback loops in interactive multi-panel Rive state machines, implement priority handling rules that ensure local interactions override remote signals. This conflict-resolution mechanism stops panels from endlessly triggering each other.

Yes, you can prototype a three-panel wave test environment using a new PanelController state machine and three Rive canvases. This setup demonstrates neighbor signaling and coordinated wave responses across the panels.

Rive supports per-panel state machines with timer-based transitions for touch installations by using a PanelController to manage Idle, Proximity, and Touched states. This allows smooth visual transitions and sequential touch accommodation.
