SuperActionList Kind of Like SuperActionState

[akyangliaoParticipant]

Hi,

I create a class kind of like SuperActionState to have a onExitList in ActionList for behavior tree.

Here is the code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110

#if UNITY_EDITOR using UnityEditor; #endif   using System.Collections.Generic; using ParadoxNotion.Design; using UnityEngine;   namespace NodeCanvas.Framework {     // Like ActionList, but it will also run the _onExitList when we are exiting this SuperActionList     public class SuperActionList : ActionList     {         [SerializeField]         private ActionList _onExitList;           public override void OnValidate(ITaskSystem ownerSystem)         {             base.OnValidate(ownerSystem);               if (_onExitList == null)             {                 _onExitList = (ActionList)Task.Create(typeof(ActionList), ownerSystem);                 _onExitList.executionMode = ActionList.ActionsExecutionMode.ActionsRunInSequence;             }             else             {                 _onExitList.SetOwnerSystem(ownerSystem);                 foreach (var inAction in _onExitList.actions)                 {                     inAction.SetOwnerSystem(ownerSystem);                 }             }         }           ///SuperActionList overrides to duplicate listed actions correctly public override Task Duplicate(ITaskSystem newOwnerSystem)         {             var newList = (SuperActionList)base.Duplicate(newOwnerSystem);             newList._onExitList = (ActionList)_onExitList.Duplicate(newOwnerSystem);               return newList;         }           protected override void OnStop()         {             base.OnStop();               _onExitList.ExecuteAction(agent, blackboard);         }           protected override void OnPause()         {             base.OnPause();             for (var i = 0; i < _onExitList.actions.Count; i++)             {                 _onExitList.actions[i].PauseAction();             }         }           void AddAction(List<ActionTask> list, ActionTask action)         {             if (action is ActionList)             {                 Debug.LogWarning("Adding an ActionList within another ActionList is not allowed for clarity");                 return;             }   #if UNITY_EDITOR             if (!Application.isPlaying)             {                 Undo.RecordObject(ownerSystem.contextObject, "List Add Task");                 currentViewAction = action;             } #endif               list.Add(action);             action.SetOwnerSystem(this.ownerSystem);         }           ////////////////////////////////////////         ///////////GUI AND EDITOR STUFF/////////         ////////////////////////////////////////         [SerializeField]         private bool foldUpdate;         [SerializeField]         private bool foldExit; #if UNITY_EDITOR         protected override void OnTaskInspectorGUI()         {             EditorUtils.CoolLabel("Actions");               foldUpdate = UnityEditor.EditorGUILayout.Foldout(foldUpdate, "OnUpdate Actions (Run like regular Action List)");             if (foldUpdate)             {                 ShowListGUI();                 ShowNestedActionsGUI();             }             EditorUtils.Separator();               foldExit = UnityEditor.EditorGUILayout.Foldout(foldExit, "OnExit Actions (Run these when exit)");             if (foldExit)             {                 _onExitList.ShowListGUI();                 _onExitList.ShowNestedActionsGUI();             }         } #endif     } }

The problem is other action will get called before the _onExitList execute. In the picture below. When I click the TestBool1, the first branch will execute first and set TestFloat1 to 1. Then the _onExitList execute to set TestFloat1 to 2. This is not the behavior I want. It should act more like state machine, which the _onExitList get called first, then set TestFloat1 to 1.

Hey,
Thanks for sharing.
Have you tried called base.Stop() after _onExitList.ExecuteAction(agent, blackboard); ?

I tried it and it didn’t work.

I think mainly is because how the tree/nodes get traverse. Currently, I am using 2.5.6c and here is the Selector.OnExecute.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27

protected override Status OnExecute(Component agent, IBlackboard blackboard){   for ( var i= dynamic? 0 : lastRunningNodeIndex; i < outConnections.Count; i++){   status = outConnections[i].Execute(agent, blackboard); switch(status)         {             case Status.Running:   if (dynamic && i < lastRunningNodeIndex)     outConnections[lastRunningNodeIndex].Reset();   lastRunningNodeIndex = i; return Status.Running;               case Status.Success:   if (dynamic && i < lastRunningNodeIndex)     outConnections[lastRunningNodeIndex].Reset();   return Status.Success; } }   return Status.Failure; }

In my example, the Selector is dynamic, that’s why Reset is called after Execute. So I need a way to know if the condition is met, it will run Reset first. Same thing in Sequencer. This class is pretty helpful, I always like the idea of clean itself up. So you don’t need to put clean up code everywhere. So I would like to have some help to make this work. Cheers.

Anything about this update?

Or maybe other way that I can interrupt the tree and run a list of nodes first, then resume back to the dynamic nodes?

Please help.
