Hi all - very new to CiviCRM.  I have a general question for a specific problem.  If someone could just point me in the right general direction of how to go about this, that would be great.

- In the Events checkout process, if the person checking out is an administrator, they are allowed to register someone who is not them for an Event.
- When they indicate this, I need the next form to be one that allows the administrator to create a Contact for this person if one does not already exist.  Once the contact is made, the checkout process resumes.
- If they don't indicate it, the normal checkout process continues without creating a contact.

I'm thinking I need to create a custom page to add a contact, then add that page to the StateMachine for CRM/Event/Cart/StateMachine/Checkout.php.  However, I don't know how to specify the condition under which this form should be skipped.  When I look at the code for addSequentialPages() it looks like there just isn't a way to implement this in StateMachine; is there something I need to do in the Controller CRM/Event/Cart/Controller/Checkout.php?

Thanks in advance!
