Title: (Solved) Will FSMs with lot of states slow down the device while playing ?
Post by: heavygunner on November 05, 2018, 06:21:08 PM

Hi !

This is the FSM I wrote for a function. One Firework will spawned on 3rd kill, Two fireworks on 6th kill and 3 Fireworks on 9th and coming every 3 kills.

This is the FSM I wrote

a member from another forum gave me a solution with just 5 states.

Look at my FSM. I have lot of states and each states has many actions. Since I am a newbie and having lack of Logical thinking, I have to go through many steps to get the job done.

Will writing FSM with lot of damn states will lag/slowdown mobile device ?

Just asking :)

No, using Playmaker has a negligible overhead compared to coding.

Hi,

 yes, it's negligeable. The overhead is 1Mb ( the size of the playmaker dll core to run your fsm, everything else ( actions) are plain c# scripts)

also, it's not the number of states but what you actually and which one is active ( only one state is active per fsm. so it's more the actions you use and when/how that matters.

Bye,
