Is it possible to reset or stop a running FSM (Run FSM)?

[Grofit]

Currently have a situation where I want to start following an entity which kickstarts a child script to do the following while it continues on doing its other logic, then on an interval or some specific status changes it needs to then go and reset the child FSM as it is no longer going to be heading in the right direction.

So for example if the target moves, or I need it to target a different entity the child FSM needs to stop/reset and be run again. Now I can find Run FSM and have stored the ID for it, but there seems to be no way to stop the running FSM or reset it back to default.

Am I missing something or can I not achieve this currently?

Bump on this... anyone know if it is possible?

Why not just send a global event that goes back to the Start state when you want it to run again?

[Grofit]

Just seems a bit overkill, I guess if I send a targetted even to the single FSM which would stop it.

It just seems a logical thing if you can start an FSM you can end and FSM, the only reason I ask is that I have a some templates which are used as first class states in a lot of places, however in this case I would want to use that but just as a partial behaviour of a larger behaviour so dont want to have to change the template much as then it would effect everything else.

Hi,

 exiting and reentering the state should do what you are looking for, have you tried?
