Reply To: FSM Transitions – frequency of checks

[Gavalakis]

Hello and thanks for getting NC 🙂

To answer your questions,

– Transitions are check in an Update(). Graphs that need updating are registering into MonoManager and it collectively calls them all. In Update.

– Currently this is not possible out of the box. A transition’s condition is checked once per frame in an Update call. There is a workaround though. You can use FSM Callbacks to see when the state at question has been entered, and then manualy call CheckTransitions whenever it is required, although this might get a bit confusing depending on what exactly you want to do.
Please take a look here and let me know if you need further directions:

– Yes, by the time the CheckTransition returns, the transition has already been made. The next state’s actions are already active.

Cheers,
Let me know if you have any more questions
