public Wait(FloatDistribution seconds)

Creates a Wait task running for the specified number of seconds.

Parameters:

seconds - the random distribution determining the number of seconds to wait for

Method Detail

start

public void start()

Draws a value from the distribution that determines the seconds to wait for.

This method is called when the task is entered. Also, this method internally calls GdxAI.getTimepiece().getTime() to get the current AI time. This means that

• if you forget to update the timepiece this task will keep running indefinitely.
• the timepiece should be updated before this task runs.

Overrides:

start in class Task<E>

execute

public Task.Status execute()

Executes this Wait task.

Specified by:

execute in class LeafTask<E>

Returns:

Status#SUCCEEDED if the specified timeout has expired; Status#RUNNING otherwise.

copyTo

protected Task<E> copyTo(Task<E> task)

Description copied from class: Task

Copies this task to the given task. This method is invoked by Task.cloneTask() only if Task.TASK_CLONER is null which is its default value.

Specified by:

copyTo in class Task<E>

Parameters:

task - the task to be filled

Returns:

the given task for chaining
