Just to clarify this a bit further, I'm new to ECA and also trying to understand successors but possibly in the context of the classic modeller.
If I understand it correctly, the event, conditions and actions are not a "this first (event), then this (condition) and then this (action)"? but the conditions and actions fieldsets provide conditions and actions for the events created in the events fieldset?
I originally understood it as you create an event (user logs in) and then you create a condition (user role is admin) and then you create an action (show a message) - but actually the condition and action you actually assign to the event?

An ECA model can be a chain of actions, that follow an event. With successors, you can link them together, so that you determine, in which order those actions should be executed. And for each of those "links", where an action is a successor of either the initial event or another action, you can optionally attach a condition, so that the successor only gets processed, when that condition returns true.

That makes sense, thanks very much @jurgenhaas! Appreciate your work on this module, it's a brilliant endeavour!
