Question by AaronC · Nov 19, 2015 at 02:28 PM · navmeshagentstate-machine

Combining State Machine with Pathfinding

Hi, I have a wandering chicken, but I can't seem to stop her randomly moving while in idle, and then also walking on the spot.

Can anyone see the issue with my code?

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class ChickenAi : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public Transform[] wayPoints;
 
     NavMeshAgent navMesh;
     int randomNumber;
     public int behaviour;
     public Transform currentWaypoint;
     Animator anim;
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
         
         navMesh=GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
         anim=GetComponent<Animator>();
         StartCoroutine(AnimalBehaviour());
     
     }
 
     IEnumerator AnimalBehaviour(){
         
             while (true) {
                 
                 //Choose a behaviour
                 behaviour = Random.Range (0, 4);
 
             if (behaviour == 0) {
 
                 //Choose a random waypoint
                 randomNumber=Random.Range(0,wayPoints.Length);
                 currentWaypoint=wayPoints[randomNumber];
 
                 //go to selected waypoint
                 navMesh.SetDestination (currentWaypoint.position);
 
                 //Apply animation
                 anim.SetTrigger("Walk");
         
             }
             else if (behaviour == 1) {
                 
                 anim.SetTrigger("Idle1");
 
                 //stop Movement
                 navMesh.ResetPath();
 
             } 
             else if (behaviour == 2) {
                 
                 anim.SetTrigger("Idle2");
 
                 //stop Movement
                 navMesh.ResetPath();
             } 
             else if (behaviour == 3) {
 
                 anim.SetTrigger("Eat");
 
                 Debug.Log ("Eating");
                 //stop Movement
                 navMesh.ResetPath();
             }
             yield return new WaitForSeconds(Random.Range(5.0f,6.0f));
 
         }
     }
 }

I've tried using NavMesh.Stop() and navMesh.Resume() but still getting the mismatched behaviours.

Thanks

Code looks correct after a quick glance. I would make sure your animation's don't move the chicken. This has to deal with some animation settings and how it was animated.

Thanks for that feedback.. Do you think it could be my navMeshAgent settings or state machine settings? Every transition in the statemachine is set up like this. None of the animations have root motion.

I'm pondering the "Broken state machine" theory but Its probably user error.. StateMachine

NavMeshAgent
