Summary

A simple system that can Animancer.FSM.StateMachine`1.InputBuffer`1.Buffer(`0,System.Single) a state then try to enter it every time Animancer.FSM.StateMachine`1.InputBuffer`1.Update(System.Single) is called until the Animancer.FSM.StateMachine`1.InputBuffer`1.TimeOut expires.

Syntax

public class StateMachine<TState>.InputBuffer<TStateMachine> 
    where TStateMachine : StateMachine<TState>

Examples

public StateMachine<CharacterState> stateMachine;// Initialized elsewhere.

[SerializeField] private CharacterState _Attack;
[SerializeField] private float _AttackInputTimeOut = 0.5f;

private StateMachine<CharacterState>.InputBuffer _InputBuffer;

private void Awake()
{
    // Initialize the buffer.
    _InputBuffer = new StateMachine<CharacterState>.InputBuffer(stateMachine);
}

private void Update()
{
    // When input is detected, buffer the desired state.
    if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))// Left Click by default.
    {
        _InputBuffer.Buffer(_Attack, _AttackInputTimeOut);
    }

    // At the end of the frame, Update the buffer so it tries to enter the buffered state.
    // After the time out, it will clear itself so Update does nothing until something else is buffered.
    _InputBuffer.Update();
}

Type Parameters

Name	Description
TStateMachine

Constructors

Name	Summary
InputBuffer()	Creates a new Animancer.FSM.StateMachine`1.InputBuffer`1.
InputBuffer(TStateMachine)	Creates a new Animancer.FSM.StateMachine`1.InputBuffer`1 for the specified `stateMachine`.

Properties

Name	Value	Summary
IsActive	bool	Is this buffer currently trying to enter a Animancer.FSM.StateMachine`1.InputBuffer`1.State?
State	TState	The TState this buffer is currently attempting to enter.
StateMachine	TStateMachine	The Animancer.FSM.StateMachine`1 this buffer is feeding input to.
TimeOut	float	The amount of time left before the Animancer.FSM.StateMachine`1.InputBuffer`1.State is cleared.

Methods

Name	Value	Summary
Buffer(TState, float)	void	Sets the Animancer.FSM.StateMachine`1.InputBuffer`1.State and Animancer.FSM.StateMachine`1.InputBuffer`1.TimeOut.
Clear()	void	Clears this buffer so it stops trying to enter the Animancer.FSM.StateMachine`1.InputBuffer`1.State.
TryEnterState()	bool	Attempts to enter the Animancer.FSM.StateMachine`1.InputBuffer`1.State and returns true if successful.
Update()	bool	Calls Animancer.FSM.StateMachine`1.InputBuffer`1.Update(System.Single) using `UnityEngine.Time.deltaTime`.
Update(float)	bool	Attempts to enter the Animancer.FSM.StateMachine`1.InputBuffer`1.State if there is one and returns true if successful. Otherwise the Animancer.FSM.StateMachine`1.InputBuffer`1.TimeOut is decreased by `deltaTime` and Animancer.FSM.StateMachine`1.InputBuffer`1.Clear is called if it reaches 0.
