Checking guarded tokens

[richard]

Is there a way to check if a token is being guarded by a Guard node in a condition task? The desired behavior would be to prevent the decorated child from running if the token is being guarded, but not to actually guard the token itself.

Thanks!

Hello Richard!

There is no way to check this, but considering that a branch in already guarded, why is there the need to check this again with a condition? 🙂
Is the use case related to using along with Parallel Composite? Can you please share a screenshot of what you want to achieve more or less?
I could add some option for this, but I just want to confirm the use case 🙂

Thanks!

Yep, the use case in mind would be when a parallel composite is repeatedly run, and there are multiple child nodes which will guard if applicable, but otherwise there is a passive node which should be run when nothing is guarding.

I’ve attached an example screenshot.

Hello again and sorry for the late reply due to summer vacation.

Hmm.. I think that a Selector would be a better candidate for such “branching”. Have you considered using a Selector like this example instead, or
is this totally outside the use case?

By the way, you don’t need to use a “Repeat” node as the root node, since the Behaviour Tree would already repeat automatically, if the “Repeat” option in enabled in the Behaviour Tree Owner inspector 🙂

Please let me know.
Thank you.
