FSM
Much welcome to the FSM solution crafetd by the Good Batch Games team!
This is a code driven Finate State Machine solution for your Unity project.
What is a Finite State Machine?
A design pattern focused on dealing with entities that have multiple possible states.
Why this FSM?
Although we know Unity’s Animator is a StateMachine it can get messy to use it as a functionality handler. This FSM helps you organizing your code by holding the actors actions logic inside its respective state (we will talk about actors in a bit).
Key pratical benefits of using this FSM:
Helps you keep things organized
Once you understand how it works it’ll save you hours of debugging since you will know exactly where each functionality is being executed
Avoids overload of unecessary if statements since each state will only check for the conditions based on their registered transitions
You can get it running in like 5 minutes
How it Works
Take the concept of an actor being anything on your game wich performs several actions. The state machine then is setup
to rule a given actor states of actions. The actor states must be registered into the state machine being that a
state knows when to transition into another state under specific conditions.
Also, for the usage of this FSM, we consider that a state isn’t just some kind of status or definition. Our states
actually handles what its actor performs while on a given state of actions.
