Title: Update action on the fly. [SOLVED]
Post by: xohmg on July 20, 2014, 05:09:46 PM

Right now I have an input manager that reads if the player has touched the screen. When he does, it moves the player to the location touched. That part works. Now I'm trying to make it so that if the player touches the screen in a new location whilst the player object is moving, I would like the player object to change course and head to the new location. Everything I tried makes me have to wait for the original move to be completed before being able to send a new location.

Any thoughts?

How about using two FSM instead of one?

One of them reads the touches on screen and sends an event to the other that handles the movement.

Yea I changed it so that the input manager sends an event on the FSM of the player and he processes the move. That fixed the issue.

Thanks.
