Switching States

After creating the state nodes, establish the relations between states to develop a self-behavior change.

1. Idle for a certain time: Switches state from Idle to Wait (self-behavior).
2. User interacting on the Chat: Switches state from Wait / Idle to Listen state (external interference).
3. After speaking: Switches back to Listen state (self-behavior).

Follow the instruction below to make a switch between state nodes in the Behavior Tree.

1. In the Behavior Tree graph, right-click on the empty area and select Leaf > State > Switch State.
   
2. A Switch State node is created.
   
   
   Select the node to show its corresponding settings in the Parameters section on the right.
   
3. Select the target state from the drop-down list.
   
4. Connect it to a state node (Idle in this case) to make the node switch to Wait after being idle for a certain time.
   
5. Repeat the steps described above for state switching.
   
   * Switching to the Listen or Speak state requires a conditional mechanism.
6. Deploy Test Tasks to simulate the character's behavior.
