Reply To: What exactly is a dynamic node?

Glad to hear.

There is some extra cost with dynamic nodes of course but considering the other ways of doing this around, not really.

A Dynamic node is dynamic (revaluates) in regards to its child nodes only. Take this example:

Dynamic Sequencer
–Condition (x == true)
–Normal Sequencer
—-Condition (y == true)
—-Action1 (Wait 1 day)
–Action2 (Wait 1 day)

So, in this setup regardless of which Action of the 2 is running, if x becomes false, action will be interrupted and the root sequencer will return failure. That is because x is checked under the Dynamic Sequencer.
If though y becomes false nothing will happen immediately, since y is not revaluated “dynamicaly” because that condition is NOT under a Dynamic node.

You could though mark the 2nd sequencer Dynamic as well, making this whole example tree work dynamic recursively.

Actions will NOT re-run if they are under a dynamic node due to the node being dynamic. So if you have:
Dynamic Sequencer
–Action
–Action
–Action

You wont get 3 actions running and revaluating all the time. You will simply get one as normal.

So, having a SubTree under a Dynamic Sequencer won’t really make a difference just by itself.

It needs some experimentation to really grasp them, but believe me, Dynamic Nodes are super useful 🙂
Let me know if you need more clarification
