Commands
Commands for an animation controller dictate exactly how the agent communicates with
the body. Instead of directly acting on each command the agent issues to the body, the an-
imation controller is free to decide how each command is executed. This might seem
counter-intuitive to what would be desirable from an agent's point of view, but this freedom
allows the body to easily handle things such as falling, pain animations, and death anima-
tions:
SoldierController.lua :
SoldierController = {};
-- Supported commands that can be requested.
SoldierController.Commands = {
CHANGE_STANCE = "CHANGE_STANCE",
DIE = "DIE",
IDLE = "IDLE",
MOVE = "MOVE",
SHOOT = "SHOOT"
};
-- Supported soldier stances.
SoldierController.Stances = {
CROUCH = "CROUCH",
STAND = "STAND"
};
-- Additional supported commands that cannot be requested.
SoldierController.PrivateCommands = {
FALLING = "FALLING"
};
