Behavior adding mover support to actors.

Uses ECBehaviorNavigator to find a path. Uses ECBehaviorLocomotion to provide input to the actor for the direction to move to. Listener tell the actor and other behavior about the state of moving towards the goal.

This behavior can be used only once on an element.

Element class properties have the prefix actorMover..

Set moving speed in meters per second.

• Full name: actorMover.speed
• Type: float
• Default Value: 1.25
• Restriction: At least 0
• Example (*.deeclass)

  <float name='actorMover.speed'>2</float>

This behavior has these events:

Actor starts moving towards goal. Path can be null if no path could be found or the actor is already at the goal. In this case arrivedAtGoal and stopMoving will be send too.

Actor stops moving.

Actor arrived at goal position. stopMoving will be send before arrivedAtGoal is send.

Listener can modify locomotion values set by behavior before sending this event.

This behavior adds these conversation commands.

Control actor mover. The following syntax is supported:

actorMover pause

Pause moving if a goal is set.

actorMover continue

Continue moving if a goal is set.

actorMover stop

Stop moving if a goal is set.

actorMover actor [id] [distance]

Start moving to position of conversation actor.

actorMover coordsys [id] [distance]

Start moving to position of conversation coordinate system.

actorMover spawn [name] [distance]

Start moving to position of spawn point.

actorMover anchor [id] [distance]

Start moving to position of anchor element.

actorMover position [x] [y] [z] [distance]

Start moving to position in game world.

actorMover relative [offsetX] [offsetY] [offsetZ] [distance]

Start moving to position relative to current position.

This behavior adds these conversation conditions.

actorMover hasGoal

Goal is set.

actorMover hasNoGoal

Goal is not set.

paused

Moving is paused.

actorMover closerThan [goal | direct] [distance]

Checks if the test distance is less than or equal to distance. If no goal is set true is returned. The remaining goal distance is not necessarily the same as the direct line distance between the actor and the goal.

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

Set one or more actor mover parameters.

This is an example of using this action:

<action name='actorMover.set'>
  <parameter name='paused'>true</parameter>
</action>

Stop moving.

This is an example of using this action:

<action name='actorMover.stop'/>

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

This is an example of using this action:

<sequence>
  <action name='actorMover.check'>
    <parameter name='goal'>true</parameter>
    <parameter name='goal.distance.less'>3</parameter>
  </action>
  <!-- actions here run only if actor mover has goal set and actor is less than 3 meters near to it -->
</sequence>

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

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

This is an example of using this condition:

<action name='myAction' id='doing something'>
  <parameter name='actorMover.goal'>true</parameter>
  <parameter name='actorMover.goal.distance.less'>3</parameter>
  <condition>actorMover.check</condition>
</action>

Same as Behavior Tree Actions.

Same as Behavior Tree Conditions.

This behavior sends these state machine events.

Actor starts moving towards goal. Path can be null if no path could be found or the actor is already at the goal. In this case actorMover.arrived and actorMover.stop is send too.

Actor stops moving.

Actor arrived at goal position. actorMover.stop will be send before this event.

• ECBehaviorLocomotion
• ECBehaviorNavigator

• ECBehaviorRideOn
• ECBehaviorConversationActor: Add conversation commands and conditions.
• 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 support element class to be persistable (setPersistable).

ECBehaviorActorMover.

Since DragonScript Module Version 1.0

• Move actor along navigation spaces using navigator.

This example defines an element which can be moved using navigator.

class MyElement extends BehaviorElementClass
  public var ECBehaviorComponent component
  public var ECBehaviorCollider collider
  public var ECBehaviorColliderAI colliderAI
  public var ECBehaviorLocomotion locomotion
  public var ECBehaviorNavigator navigator
  public var ECBehaviorProjectToGround projectToGround
  public var ECBehaviorRideOn rideOn
  public var ECBehaviorConversationActor conversationActor
  public var ECBehaviorActorMover actorMover
  func new()
    component = ECBehaviorComponent.new(this, null)
    collider = ECBehaviorCollider.new(this, component)
    colliderAI = ECBehaviorColliderAI.new(this, collider)
    locomotion = ECBehaviorLocomotion.new(this, colliderAI)
    navigator = ECBehaviorNavigator.new(this)
    projectToGround = ECBehaviorProjectToGround.new(this, colliderAI)
    rideOn = ECBehaviorRideOn.new(this, locomotion, projectToGround)
    conversationActor = ECBehaviorConversationActor.new(this)
    actorMover = ECBehaviorActorMover.new(this, locomotion, navigator, rideOn)
    actorMover.setConversationActor(conversationActor)
  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='ECBehaviorComponent'/>
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorCollider'/>
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorColliderAI'/>
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorLocomotion'/>
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorNavigator'/>
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorProjectToGround'/>
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorRideOn'/>
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorConversationActor'/>
 
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorActorMover'>
    <!-- optional: use navigator with id instead of empty string -->
    <string name='navigator'>second</string>
 
    <!-- optional: use behavior tree with id instead of empty string -->
    <string name='behaviorTree'>second</string>
 
    <!-- optional: use state machine with id instead of empty string -->
    <string name='stateMachine'>second</string>
 
    <!-- set element properties. omit property prefix if used inside behavior tag -->
    <float name='.speed'>2</float>
  </behavior>
</elementClass>
