Bug: OnStop() called on interrupted task after executing interupting task

[handsomegeoff]

Hi There,

I utilize the OnStop() method in ActionTasks to clean-up an agents state within the ActionTask before moving into another state. I’ve ran into a problem though using the dynamic selector. It seems that when a higher priority state is activated, its first ActionTask is executed before OnStop() is called in the interrupted ActionTask. Please see the screen grab. Branch 1 runs and “Produce for 60 seconds” is executed. It gets interrupted by branch 2 before it is done processing. I would have expected OnStop() to be called in “Produce for 60 seconds” before the first ActionTask is executed in branch 2 ($owner.ReleaseTaskProvider()), but the opposite happens. $owner.ReleaseTaskProvider() is executed, then OnStop() is called on “Produce for 60 seconds”. I think, conceptually, an ActionTask should be an atomic operation and should complete its lifecycle before another is executed. Can you confirm if this is a bug, or is expected behaviour.

Thanks for your time and attention on this.
Geoff
