Behavior element behavior toggling trigger target.

Toggles trigger target between fired and reset state whenever evaluation state of trigger expression changes to true.

This behavior can be used multiple times on an element to add multiple triggers. Use the behavior identifier to tell them apart.

Element class properties have the prefix toggle. or toggle({id}). if id is not empty.

Trigger to evaluate.

• Full name: toggle.trigger or toggle({id}).trigger
• Type: string
• Default Value: empty string
• Example (*.deeclass)

  <string name='toggle.trigger'>@switchOnVent & @powerEnabled</string>

Switches target between fired and reset state whenever trigger evaluates to true.

• Full name: toggle.target or toggle({id}).target
• Type: string
• Default Value: empty string
• Example (*.deeclass)

  <string name='toggle.target'>ventOn</string>

Fires target when behavior is created if not fired yet.

• Full name: toggle.startActivated or toggle({id}).startActivated
• Type: boolean
• Default Value: false
• Example (*.deeclass)

  <boolean name='toggle.startActivated'>true</boolean>

Trigger target toggled.

This behavior adds these behavior tree actions if behavior tree is present. If behavior has non-empty identifier replace toggle with toggle(id).

Set one or more toggle trigger parameters.

This is an example of using this action:

<action name='toggle.set'>
  <parameter name='target'>toggle</parameter>
</action>

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

This is an example of using this action:

<sequence>
  <action name='toggle.check'>
    <parameter name='target.fired'>false</parameter>
    <parameter name='target.everFired'>false</parameter>
  </action>
  <!-- actions here run only if target is in reset state and has been never fired yet -->
</sequence>

This behavior adds these behavior tree conditions if behavior tree is present. If behavior has non-empty identifier replace toggle with toggle(id).

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

This is an example of using this condition:

<action name='myAction' id='doing something'>
  <parameter name='target.fired'>false</parameter>
  <parameter name='target.everFired'>false</parameter>
  <condition>toggle.check</condition>
</action>

This behavior requires no other behaviors.

• ECBehaviorBehaviorTree: Add actions and conditions for behavior trees to use.

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

ECBehaviorToggle.

Since DragonScript Module Version 1.0

• Toggle target if trigger evaluates to true.

This example defines an element which toggles trigger.

class MyElement extends BehaviorElementClass
  public var ECBehaviorToggle toggle
  func new()
    toggle = ECBehaviorToggle.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='ECBehaviorToggle'>
    <!-- optional: use BaseGameApp trigger table. game can add more supported values.
                   default is 'default' -->
    <string name='triggerTable'>default</string>
 
    <!-- optional: identifier of ECBehaviorTriggered to synchronize with or empty
                   string to not synchronize. default is empty string. -->
    <string name='trigger.synchronize'>other</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 -->
    <string name='.name'>Color 1</string>
  </behavior>
 
  <!-- for adding multiple behaviors use unique identifiers -->
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorToggle' id='second'/>
</elementClass>
