Pausing a State Machine FlexFSM
Hi again,
I have been researching ways to create an FSM for resource collection, as my knowledge of C# is limited I'm searching for a goldilocks version (not too hard to understand at my current level of knowledge but efficient enough for it not to become a tangled mess.
I have come across FlexFSM which looks simple enough for me to get stuck into and edit however I'm having some problems figuring out how to add a pause when entering or exiting states.
Please don't laugh :)
I tried adding the following to the bottom of the Miner.cs;
public void StartPause() {
StartCoroutine(TestPause());
}
public IEnumerator TestPause(){
yield return new WaitForSeconds(3f);
}
And adjusted in MinerStates.cs;
public override void OnEnter(GameObject owner)
{
miner.LogAction("Entering mine");
miner.StartPause();
}
To try and force a 3 second pause, this obviously did not work :) when loops become nested I have difficulty following actions through them. maybe that will just come with time.
I'm guessing I would need to adjust the following in Miner.cs to allow for pauses but, need some guidance if you have the time.
void Update()
{
if (fsm != null && fsm.IsActive())
{
fsm.UpdateFSM();
currentState = fsm.GetCurrentStateName();
}
}
I have sort of got something working :)
changed $$anonymous$$iner.cs
public bool alive;
public float pauseTime = 0.0f;
void Start()
{
Initialize$$anonymous$$inerData();
$$anonymous$$akeFS$$anonymous$$();
alive = true;
}
void Update()
{
if(!alive) {
StartCoroutine(Pausing ());
}
while(alive){
if (fsm != null && fsm.IsActive())
{
fsm.UpdateFS$$anonymous$$();
currentState = fsm.GetCurrentStateName();
}
}
}
public IEnumerator Pausing() {
yield return new WaitForSeconds(pauseTime);
alive = true;
pauseTime = 0.0f;
}
and added to all enter/exit states on $$anonymous$$inerStates.cs
public override void OnEnter(GameObject owner)
{
$$anonymous$$er.alive = false;
$$anonymous$$er.pauseTime = 3.0f;
$$anonymous$$er.LogAction("Entering $$anonymous$$e");
}
but, it's not quite right, seems to only pause every now and again.
The Waitforseconds does not halt the rest of the script, it just halts that one coroutine.
The easiest way to prevent your miner from moving for 3 seconds after it's created (if that's your goal), is to do this:
bool canStart = false;
void Start() {
StartCoroutine(ActivateAfter(3f));
}
IEnumerator ActivateAfter(float seconds) {
yield return new WaitForSeconds(seconds);
canStart = true;
}
void Update() {
if(!canStart)
return;
//Normal update stuff
}
Sending the float argument in as an argument to the coroutine isn't strictly necessary, but I think it looks nicer like that.
thanks for that I'll give it a shot, what I'm really after is a way to pause the OnEnter, OnExit, Reason, Act functions within a state in $$anonymous$$inerStates.cs which I think would help me debug problems later on
