Telling something to travel somewhere and then exitmap - stategraphs?

[skullywag]

I want to tell an animal ive spawned to travel to a destination and then exit map, if its attacked or interupted in some way it should be have as normal in that situation and then exitmap after a certain number of ticks.

I know how to:

Code Select Expand


newThing.mindState.exitMapAfterTick = Find.TickManager.TicksGame + Rand.Range(10000, 12000);


so the last point is taken care of.
I tried something along the lines of:

Code Select Expand


List<Pawn> list = new List<Pawn>();
list.Add(newThing);
StateGraph stateGraph = GraphMaker.TravelAndExitGraph(travelDest);
BrainMaker.MakeNewBrain(newThing.Faction, stateGraph, list);


to no avail.
Anyone have any clues?

I think animals don't have the squadbrain in their thinktree. Therefor they won't listen to their brain

Code Select Expand

<!-- Squad brain directives -->
<li Class="ThinkNode_Subtree">
<treeDef>SquadBrainDuty</treeDef>
</li>

ok that actually makes some sense.

so could i use jobs or something here?

I'm not sure, Jobs are onetime. And how will you continue your job, if it is disturbed?
But maybe it will work, if you add an own Jobdriver in the thinktree of your animals, after the defend jobdriver..

Maybe something like this will work, if you rewrite the ThinkNode a bit to do your stuff..

Code Select Expand

        <!-- Leave if timed out -->
        <li Class="ThinkNode_ConditionalExitTimedOut">
          <subNodes>
            <li Class="JobGiver_ExitMapWalkRandom" />
          </subNodes>
        </li>

But I'm not sure.
I could tell you how it works with normal pawns (SquadBrain), but animals are so much simpler..
