Reply To: Queue Graph Events (SendEvent) When Graph Is Paused

[Gavalakis]

Hello again,

I misunderstood your question/suggestion in your previous post (guess I was a bit asleed as well :), but I do understand better now.
The problem with this, is in the way the events work. Right now, events received (eg by a condition task), would make the condition immediately return ‘true’ for one frame. In some other frameworks (and I think in Unity’s Mecanim as far as Triggers go), events would rather mark a boolean like “received” as true, and be “consumed” the next time the condition is evaluated, something like this:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

bool received;   public bool OnCheck(){     if (received){         received = false;         return true;     }     return false; }

NodeCanvas ConditionTasks do not work thi way though and for your suggestion to take place, they would need to actually work this way, which is something I was already thinking of changing. Alternatively I could make a ‘Queue’ and Enque event calls when the graph is paused, but I don’t really like the complexity added here, thus the first solution might be better.
I will need to investigate a bit further into this though before giving some solid answer 🙂

Thanks!
