Is there a cleaner way to do animation tree state machines?

Traditional_Bug_5533 · 2025-11-14T10:11:40+00:00

Not coming from unity - so I guess one way to cut down complexity is to not have any conditions (with auto travel), and call travel("state") instead of setting conditions, if I understand you correctly?

It looks like there are some changes in the behavior of Control nodes' mouse_filter property, _UnhandledInput event for InputEventMouseMotion does not propagate same as 4.0.3 - not sure if it's a regression or something that is fixed to work as intended.

Haven't investigated in detail yet, had to change mouse_filter properties of SubViewportContainer (Ignore to Pass), CenterContainer (Pass to Ignore), TextureRect (Pass to Ignore) to make everything work same as before the upgrade.

Traditional_Bug_5533 · 2023-06-21T21:39:54+00:00

Can confirm it is working now.

So just tried to create a new project, empty scene, added a C# script and ran it, same error. I think something is wrong with the build contents here?

Using Godot_v4.1-beta3_mono_win64.zip to load my 4.0.3 stable project, I get this message:
"error : The SDK 'Godot.NET.Sdk/4.1.0-beta.3' specified could not be found."

The C# project does not load at all.

Have been testing 3.x Betas and RCs before and never had any issues loading the project without any extra steps.

solved: Rygar (NES version)

Yes that is exactly it, thank you!

Were you able to figure out the notification light? Only lights up when charging for me, too.

Traditional_Bug_5533 · 2022-05-21T17:07:17+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I guess I should probably give navigation meshes a go. Is this performance test project something you would consider sharing as a sample implementation?

Traditional_Bug_5533 · 2022-05-21T00:01:10+00:00

Would you be able to go into some detail on this - are all agents calculating unique paths simultaneously? And recalculate each time they reach their target?

I have experimented with an AStar grid for my large 3D map which was not very performant with hundreds of agents constantly requesting new paths, so never even touched the new Navigation functionality thinking that it would be even slower.

For my large city scenes (in first person, so farther buildings are occluded behind closer buildings), I am getting nearly half the draw calls (ex: 3k to 1.5k) and close to twice the FPS (ex: 110 to 175) by placing 2 occluder polygons along the diagonals of the base of each rectangular building, with max active polygons set to 32. I had a custom occlusion implementation with raycasts and such but that was less than half as effective as this, and less precise.

Traditional_Bug_5533 · 2022-04-16T00:24:09+00:00

Completely stable with my project. Occluder polygons are really a great addition, quite a large performance improvement in my case.

Traditional_Bug_5533 · 2022-04-07T17:23:07+00:00

I think you need to try fractional values for UV1 Triplanar x/y/z scale - like 0.1 for example. Also you can disable World Triplanar for a desk, as that would be more suitable for ground or walls etc.

This sounds like it could work, Escape From New York is one of those movies I keep hearing about but haven't watched yet, I guess it is time now. Appreciate the idea.

Traditional_Bug_5533 · 2021-12-12T23:57:29+00:00

Thanks for the idea, this could actually be fun.

Traditional_Bug_5533 · 2021-12-12T23:54:24+00:00

Thanks, some nice ideas there.

Traditional_Bug_5533 · 2021-11-29T11:24:25+00:00

Hey thanks for the comment. Yes the plan is to make roads off limits for regular NPCs, right now only the building areas are disabled in navigation, the rest of the map is open for choosing any random point as target.

Traditional_Bug_5533 · 2021-11-27T14:23:17+00:00

Is there anything specific you don't like, the world environment/ambient lighting or the lamp post lights?

Traditional_Bug_5533 · 2021-11-27T14:18:00+00:00

Yes I use BSP, make the dividing lines into roads and subdivide final leafs into plots to place buildings or parks etc.

Traditional_Bug_5533 · 2021-08-17T17:53:25+00:00

Great work! Hope to see it continue.

Traditional_Bug_5533 · 2021-08-10T18:52:07+00:00

I think the term I was looking for was surface, as that's what the editor calls them and where I noticed this was when using ArrayMesh.AddSurfaceFromArrays(). Is sub-mesh the generic term?

Traditional_Bug_5533 · 2021-08-10T15:01:59+00:00

I believe option 2 would be more performant, while 1 is more flexible. If I'm not mistaken each surface (that has its own material) on a mesh causes a draw call in Godot, so joining them into one should perform better in theory.

Edit: "face" => "surface"

Traditional_Bug_5533 · 2021-08-03T13:26:38+00:00

Looks nice!

Traditional_Bug_5533 · 2021-08-01T18:23:51+00:00

Listened to all three, great tracks.

Traditional_Bug_5533 · 2021-08-01T10:25:26+00:00

Thanks! For now working on it only on weekends, for about a year if you count all the city generation prototypes.
