Class StackStateMachine<E,S extends State<E>>

java.lang.Object

com.badlogic.gdx.ai.fsm.DefaultStateMachine<E,S>

com.badlogic.gdx.ai.fsm.StackStateMachine<E,S>

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the entity owning this state machine

S - the type of the states of this state machine

All Implemented Interfaces:

StateMachine<E,S>, Telegraph

public class StackStateMachine<E,S extends State<E>>
extends DefaultStateMachine<E,S>

A StateMachine implementation that keeps track of all previous States via a stack. This makes sense for example in case of a hierarchical menu structure where each menu screen is one state and one wants to navigate back to the main menu anytime, via revertToPreviousState().

Constructor Detail

StackStateMachine

public StackStateMachine()

Creates a StackStateMachine with no owner, initial state and global state.

StackStateMachine

public StackStateMachine(E owner)

Creates a StackStateMachine for the specified owner.

Parameters:

owner - the owner of the state machine

StackStateMachine

public StackStateMachine(E owner,
                         S initialState)

Creates a StackStateMachine for the specified owner and initial state.

Parameters:

owner - the owner of the state machine

initialState - the initial state

StackStateMachine

public StackStateMachine(E owner,
                         S initialState,
                         S globalState)

Creates a StackStateMachine for the specified owner, initial state and global state.

Parameters:

owner - the owner of the state machine

initialState - the initial state

globalState - the global state

Method Detail

setInitialState

public void setInitialState(S state)

Description copied from interface: StateMachine

Sets the initial state of this state machine.

Specified by:

setInitialState in interface StateMachine<E,S extends State<E>>

Overrides:

setInitialState in class DefaultStateMachine<E,S extends State<E>>

Parameters:

state - the initial state.

getCurrentState

public S getCurrentState()

Description copied from interface: StateMachine

Returns the current state of this state machine.

Specified by:

getCurrentState in interface StateMachine<E,S extends State<E>>

Overrides:

getCurrentState in class DefaultStateMachine<E,S extends State<E>>

getPreviousState

public S getPreviousState()

Returns the last state of this state machine. That is the high-most state on the internal stack of previous states.

Specified by:

getPreviousState in interface StateMachine<E,S extends State<E>>

Overrides:

getPreviousState in class DefaultStateMachine<E,S extends State<E>>

changeState

public void changeState(S newState)

Description copied from interface: StateMachine

Performs a transition to the specified state.

Specified by:

changeState in interface StateMachine<E,S extends State<E>>

Overrides:

changeState in class DefaultStateMachine<E,S extends State<E>>

Parameters:

newState - the state to transition to

revertToPreviousState

public boolean revertToPreviousState()

Changes the Change state back to the previous state. That is the high-most state on the internal stack of previous states.

Specified by:

revertToPreviousState in interface StateMachine<E,S extends State<E>>

Overrides:

revertToPreviousState in class DefaultStateMachine<E,S extends State<E>>

Returns:

True in case there was a previous state that we were able to revert to. In case there is no previous state, no state change occurs and false will be returned.
