Finite Automata AI System

Quillwerth commented 10 years ago

Build an extensible AIComponent and AISystem that uses FA to model behaviour.

States (vertices) contain a "Directive" which can ask the MovementSystem/CombatSystem for certain things ("Hey, I want to move in this direction at top speed", "Hey, I want to use a ranged attack").
Transitions (edges) contain a "Condition" which must be satisfied to traverse the edge. If no edge is traversed, we stay in the same place.

AIComponent will have the graph, AISystem will control movement and directive-passing.

i have a lecture on FSMs and related items for games if you want them. However, those are falling out of vogue. The new thing is a variation on heirarchical FSMs / pushdown automata called Behavior Trees. i might even have one in C# kicking around.

I'll take whatever you can send me. Implementation is a bit of a nightmare... Doable, but irritating.

Closed. Way outdated, and designed with swappable AI in mind. This isn't our plan anymore.

FSMs are for babies. I vote Behavior Trees
