[Node] Core

Core Nodes

Core nodes exhibit functionality for a variety of purposes.

Fail

Description

Returns failure as its result, regardless of the outcome of its child's execution. A Fail node has exactly one child.

Parameters Accepted

None.

Results

Outcome

Criteria

Success

Never.

Failure

When execution/processing of its child node is complete.

Additional Information

None.

Random Gate

Description

Has exactly one child, which is executed when the Random Gate node is "open".

The probability of the gate being "open" is random, although the degree of this randomness may be modified.

Parameters Accepted

Parameter Name

Description

Value

Chance to Open

Modifies the degree of randomness by which the gate is opened.

Accepts a floating point value in the range [0.0, 1.0] such that,

0.0

The Random Gate will always be "closed".

1.0

The gate will always be "open".

Any value in between accordingly affects the probability of the gate being "open".

For example, a Chance to Open value of 0.5 gives the gate a 50% chance of being open.

Results

Outcome

Criteria

Success

When the gate is "open" and its child node succeeds.

Failure

If the gate is "closed", or if its child node fails when "open".

Additional Information

None.

Send Event

Description

Sends an event to the Behavior Tree, that may in turn be used to trigger a change in a Variable, Timestamp, or similar.

Parameters Accepted

Parameter Name

Description

Value

Results

Outcome

Criteria

Success

If the Event was successfully sent.

Failure

If the Event wasn't sent.

Additional Information

None.

Suppress Failure

Description

Returns success as its result, regardless of the outcome of its child's execution. A Suppress Failure node has exactly one child.

Parameters Accepted

None.

Results

Outcome

Criteria

Success

As soon as execution/processing of its child node is complete.

Failure

Never.

Additional Information

None.
