[Behavior] State Machine

Hi,

As first addon to build I've developed State Machine behavior, which tracks state and emits proper events if it changes.

GitHub: github.com/anpur/c2-state-machine

Download: goo.gl/SxoBYA

With given functions you can decouple events which changes your object state and logic, how you object reacts on those changes.

You can have several state machines per object, e.g. Mood ('sleeping', 'patrolling', 'fighting') and Weapon ('ready', 'aiming', 'firing', 'reloading').

Events on specific state transitions can help you build animation more easily.

For example: On Moster.Mood transition from sleep to attack set animation 'attack from lair'.

Features:

- In state condition: checks that machine in particular state.
• On state change trigger: occurs when state changed.
• On state entering trigger: occurs when entering particular state.
• On state leaving trigger: occurs when leaving particular state.
• On state transition trigger: occurs on transition from one particular state to another.
• Set state action: set current state.
• State expression: returns current state.
• Previous state expression: return previous state.
• Initial state property: to set initial state of machine.
• Ignore same property: ignores attempts to set same state as current.

I hope this behavior will be useful for someone <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" />

I'm still working on example project.

P.S. - I realize, that this is not the first state machine addon, but I wanted to write it so much.

I had made one before.

Thanks for sharing this. The more choices the better

Thanks

AWESOME!

those expression look so awesome .. and simple to use.. i wander can i use it with a multiplayer system? i mean does it brake the exporting methods? or is it stable?

Made my C2 not even load. have to uninstall manually.

jojoe It's a simple fix. In "edittime.js", there are two expressions with the ID 0, simply change the second entry to 1 and it will work.

Magistross,

Thank you!

anpur Hey I have been meaning to stop by here and thank you for this plugin but it keeps slipping my mind. So, Thank you! Very easy and straightforward to use, very very helpful!

Hi! Thanks. It's all I need. Very helpful.

Hi anpur,

I installed the bahaviour and the Contruct v220 broke.

When I tried to start it showed me this message:

I had a hard time finding the problem. I need to delete the folder "anpur-state-machine" that was inside

C:\Users[user]\AppData\Roaming\Construct2\behaviors after desinstalled and installed contruct twice.

I don´t know if it was just with me.
