SWS Integration vs Example Patrol

[johnny star]

Hi, I hope you are doing well @Gavalakis!

I know I have 2 other threads regarding other questions and I’m not sure if it’s ok for me to start a new one for a new question or I can just add on to my questions on an existing thread.

I have SWS (Simple Waypoint System) asset and I’m using the integration but I’m not that great in the behavior tree logic so I need some help.

In the Example Scenes ( Unity 2018.4.14+ ), when the soldiers are patrolling there is a timer on the node and it’s yellow in colour.

But using the StartMovement node of the SWS integration there is no timer on the node. How do I go about having that visual debugging timer icon and yellow colour so that I know my AI is currently patrolling using SWS?

Hey!

No problem. It is better to start a new thread if there is a completely different question, so thanks for that! 🙂

The “timer/clock” icon represents that node is still “Running”, thus is not yet finished (returned either Success nor Failure).
Unfortunately though, the SWS integration is a very old one and as far as I remember, there is no way to tell if/when a movement (in SWS way) is finished/done and as such all SWS integration actions are never set to “Running”, but are instead fired once and then finish instantly. I will however take another look in recent version of SWS (which I have to check in years) to see if there is anything that can be changed to achieve that (meaning to know when a movement is done and as such keep the action “Running” until that is the case).

I will update this post once I look at this 🙂
Thank you!
