I’m not sure if this is a bug, so I’m posting here to confirm.  
While setting up an Event Tag in StateTree, I noticed something unexpected:

- The event fires immediately on **BeginPlay** , or more accurately, when **StartLogic** is called even if I didn’t use the SendStateTreeEvent

- My root state has **no transitions** , yet calling `StartLogic` triggers the DebugSTT once.

- When I add an **Enter Condition** with the same tag I’m sending, the event does **not** fire at all.

This behavior is different from what I expected based on the documentation and examples I saw online.

**Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?**  
Or is there something specific I should check in UE5.6?

Any advice would be appreciated.

> Hello, I have an issue with transitioning between states with event condition. I have this transition and it works fine. But if I add “Required Event to Enter” it stops working. Event is not consumed on transition, and it is 100% same event, so I really don’t know what can be wrong here. My state tree:

I found the solution, seems that there was a goofy bug in StateTree.
