Behavior element behavior adding moving player input.

Keeps track of moving player input and applies them to actor locomotion. The type of locomotion can be set to one of three typical configurations.

This behavior can be used for human actor and vehicle movement.

This behavior can be used only once on an element.

Element class properties have the prefix playerInputMove. .

Set walk speed in meters per second.

  <float name='playerInputMove.speedWalk'>1.5</float>

Set run speed in meters per second.

• Full name: playerInputMove.speedRun
• Type: float

  <float name='playerInputMove.speedRun'>6</float>

Set speed factor walking forward.

• Full name: playerInputMove.speedFactorWalkForward
• Type: float
• Default Value: 1
• Restriction: At least 0
• Example (*.deeclass)

  <float name='playerInputMove.speedFactorWalkForward'>6</float>

Set speed factor walking backward.

• Full name: playerInputMove.speedFactorWalkBackward
• Type: float
• Default Value: 1
• Restriction: At least 0
• Example (*.deeclass)

  <float name='playerInputMove.speedFactorWalkBackward'>6</float>

Set speed factor walking left.

• Full name: playerInputMove.speedFactorWalkLeft
• Type: float
• Default Value: 1
• Restriction: At least 0
• Example (*.deeclass)

  <float name='playerInputMove.speedFactorWalkLeft'>6</float>

Set speed factor walking right.

• Full name: playerInputMove.speedFactorWalkRight
• Type: float
• Default Value: 1
• Restriction: At least 0
• Example (*.deeclass)

  <float name='playerInputMove.speedFactorWalkRight'>6</float>

Set speed factor running forward.

• Full name: playerInputMove.speedFactorRunForward
• Type: float
• Default Value: 1
• Restriction: At least 0
• Example (*.deeclass)

  <float name='playerInputMove.speedFactorRunForward'>6</float>

Set speed factor running backward.

• Full name: playerInputMove.speedFactorRunBackward
• Type: float
• Default Value: 1
• Restriction: At least 0
• Example (*.deeclass)

  <float name='playerInputMove.speedFactorRunBackward'>6</float>

Set speed factor running left.

• Full name: playerInputMove.speedFactorRunLeft
• Type: float
• Default Value: 1
• Restriction: At least 0
• Example (*.deeclass)

  <float name='playerInputMove.speedFactorRunLeft'>6</float>

Set speed factor running right.

• Full name: playerInputMove.speedFactorRunRight
• Type: float
• Default Value: 1
• Restriction: At least 0
• Example (*.deeclass)

  <float name='playerInputMove.speedFactorRunRight'>6</float>

This behavior has no events.

This behavior adds these behavior tree actions if behavior tree is present.

Set one or more player input move parameters.

This is an example of using this action:

<action name='playerInputMove.set'>
  <parameter name='forward'>true</parameter>
</action>

Check one or more player input move parameters. Action succeeds if all parameter value matches their respective player input move parameter otherwise action fails. This action is typically used as first action in a sequence to run the sequence only if a player input move parameter matches (or not).

This is an example of using this action:

<sequence>
  <action name='playerInputMove.check'>
    <parameter name='left'>true</parameter>
  </action>
  <!-- actions here run only if moving left key is pressed -->
</sequence>

This behavior adds these behavior tree conditions if behavior tree is present.

Check one or more player input move parameters. Conditions returns true if all parameter value match their respective player input move parameter. This condition is typically used to run an action or sequence of actions as long as player input move conditions are true.

This is an example of using this condition:

<action name='myAction' id='doing something'>
  <parameter name='playerInputMove.left'>true</parameter>
  <condition>playerInputMove.check</condition>
</action>

Same as Behavior Tree Actions.

Same as Behavior Tree Conditions.

This behavior send no events to state machine.

This behavior requires no other behaviors.

• ECBehaviorLocomotion: Update locomotion turning and moving parameters.
• ECBehaviorBehaviorTree: Add actions and conditions for behavior trees to use.
• ECBehaviorStateMachine: Add actions and conditions for state machine to use and events to send to the state machine.

This behavior does not required element class to be persistable (setPersistable).

ECBehaviorPlayerInputMove.

Since DragonScript Module Version 1.0

• Track player moving input and apply it to locomotion.

This example defines an element which tracks player moving input.

class MyElement extends BehaviorElementClass
  public var ECBehaviorPlayerInputMove playerInputMove
  func new()
    playerInputMove = ECBehaviorPlayerInputMove.new(this)
  end
end

Using element class supporting adding behaviors the behavior can be added like this:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<elementClass name='MyClass' class='GenericBehaviorElement'>
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorPlayerInputMove'>
    <!-- optional: set locomotion type. default is 'natural'. allowed values are these:
                   natural: default locomotion working best for actors moving in a
                            natural way. The actor moves into the direction it is
                            looking. The body is oriented into the walking
                            direction if the actor is moving.
                   fps: configuration useful for FPS type games where the actor is always
                        oriented into the direction the player is looking. This
                        configuration typically uses an 8-direction animator representing
                        the actor moving into any direction relative to the looking direction.
                   vehicle: configuration useful for vehicle type actors like tanks which
                            move into the direction their body is oriented while allowing
                            to freely look around. -->
