A local tag. It is only triggered in a certain context upon a switch from a parent state.

toState (string) — defines a state to which the transition is possible.

      "path" : "/SendFile/Files/CantSendFile",
      "description" : "",
      "disabled" : false,
      "phrases" : [
        "can't attach the file",
        "cannot send the photo",
        "can't send the file"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Script:

state: Main
    q!: $regex</start>
    a: Hello. Please write your name and surname

    state: Name
        intent: /name
        a: Thanks! Please send your photo to receive the form.

    state: SendFile || modal=true
     event: sendFile
     a: Sending form

state: CantSend
    eg: /SendFile/Files/CantSendFile || fromState=/Main/SendFile , onlyThisState=true
    a: Please check the size of attached file and try again

In this script bot will switch states from SendFile to CantSend as soon as he receives a message from client Can't attach the file. The transition to CantSend is only possible from state /Main/SendFile as onlyThisState = true flag was set.
