Title: Waiting for FSM completion
Post by: TVISARL on March 08, 2020, 05:28:37 AM

Hi, all!

In my game, FSM 2 should not start before FSM 1 is finished.
How can I arrange that?

Thanks in advance.

• have FSM 1 send an event to FSM 2 when it's completed
• use a boolean "completed" on FSM 1 that starts as false and is set to true when the FSM is completed and have FSM 2 check bool change on every frame
• have FSM 2 look at FSM 1 with "is in state" action on every frame

Hi,

 you can also broadcast a global event if you don't want FSM 2 to know about FSM 1. FSM 1 can broadcast an event "STEP X IS DONE" and so you can keep things boxed this way and the step X can be then modified or reworked without affecting other fsm that simply want to know when step x is done.

Bye,
