Generates a JSON representing a Finite State Machine for player controls.
$ ./generate.py <-v> <-d> -g [path_to_golbal_computation_rules] -l [path_to_specific_rules_1] ...
The -d option activates the debug mode.
The -v option activates the verbose mode.
The result will be stored as follow:
build/debug/{name}_fsm.json: Human readable graph for specificnameconfiguration.build/debug/{name}_debug.dot: A dot file for graphviz representing the states and transition for configurationname.build/debug/decision_tree_{name}.dot: A dot file for graphviz representing the generated decision tree.build/{name}_controller.gd: A GDScript managing the evaluation of the several symbols and the decision tree.build/{name}_fsm_pc.json: Pre-computed graph with symbols replaced by their integer identifier counterpart.build/global_controls.gd: A Godot singleton containing the global constants related to the project.
The base script is named control_fsm.gd and is located at the project root.
- Make a prototype using the tool.
- Make controls grouping so that you can make a sequence within a controls group without being interrupt by controls that are not part of it.
- For now, controls are "digital", meaning that they can only be pressed or released :
- Consider analogic controls and add "quantity" to control input (pressed + value from deadzone to 1.0)
- Create meta control : If an analogic control is above a certain threshold, it is considered as another control.
The current project is a work in progress, mainly oriented in generating GDScripts. The main script refactoring is needed but it runs smoothly. For now, all scripts are generated.
