General Question Animation status=action

[gattispilot]

Ok I have looked in the APi doc and haven't found any thing about the differences and why you should you should use one over the other.

void MYVESSEL::ActivateCargo (DoorStatus action)
{
    cargo_status = action;
}

void MYVESSEL::RevertCargo (void)
{
    ActivateCargo (cargo_status == DOOR_CLOSED || cargo_status == DOOR_CLOSING ?
        DOOR_OPENING : DOOR_CLOSING);
}

VERSUS THIS:

void MYVESSEL::AnimateBagDoor ()
{
    bagdoor_status = (bagdoor_status == CLOSED || bagdoor_status == CLOSING ? OPENING : CLOSING);
}

That's because it isn't a part of the API, but it's part of the logic of your program.

The first one you use if additionally to reverting the animation order you also want to set it in a specific state (of course you can also set the variable without using the setter function, too, if it's accessible for your code from somewhere else). The second one, if you only revert it.
