We released Arbor 3 which implements behaviour tree and hierarchical node graph etc.

New function summary

Behaviour Tree

We have implemented a behaviour tree which is the best node graph for AI’s behavior control.

Since the priorities and conditions of the nodes to be executed can be visualized, it is easier to create a neat graph even if you construct more complicated behaviors compared to conventional state machines.

For details on the behaviour tree, please click here.

Behaviour Tree

Hierarchicalization of node graph

By using SubStateMachine and SubBehaviourTree, node graphs can now be hierarchized.

GIF

By using EndStateMachine, success or failure can be reported to the parent graph.

Reference

Rerouting of StateLink

StateLink’s reroute node makes connection line shaping easier.

GIF

Please use it when it overlaps other nodes and it is hard to see.

Rerouting of CalculatorBranch

Like StateLink, CalculatorBranch also implemented a reroute node.

Update contents

New: Behavior Tree

Overview

As a new function, Behaviour Tree which can combine behaviors while visualizing priority by tree structure has been added.

There are RootNode which becomes active first, CompositeNode which decides execution order of child nodes, and ActionNode which specifies action.

In ActionNode, you can set a script ActionBehavior which describes behavior.
ActionBehaviour can be customized as well as ArborFSM’s StateBehaviour.

For CompositeNode and ActionNode you can also add a script Decorator which checks the condition to execute and repeats it.
Customization is also possible here.

Besides, flexible AI can be created by Service script executed while the node is active.

Also, as with ArborFSM, data can be exchanged between nodes by using calculator nodes and calculator slots.

CHANGES

Arbor Editor

  • Renamed state list of toolbar to side panel.
  • Renamed state list of side panel to node list.
  • When copying and pasting the state, when copying source and copying destination were the same ArborFSM, changed to paste with StateLink connected.
  • When copying and pasting the state, change StateLink so that StateLink will stay connected if the state to which StateLink is connected is also pasted node.
  • Change color when mouse over of StateLink’s line.
  • Changed to display the menu even when right-clicking the title bar of StateBehaviour.
  • Change the way to display the value of CalculatorBranch during execution by mouse over the line or checking “Always display value” from the right click menu.
  • Change the design of the current state being executed.
  • Adjust scrolling to move to the selected node.

Built-in StateBehaviour

  • Agent MoveOnWaypoint Changed to move to the current target point at the start and move the target point to the next after the movement is completed.

Script

  • ArborFSMInternal changed to inherit from NodeGraph.
  • Remove the fsmName of ArborFSMInternal (the use of graphName to NodeGraph).
  • Changed FindFSM and FindFSMs of ArborFSM to Obsolete (use FindGraph and FindGraphs of NodeGraph).
  • Changed stateID of StateBehaviour to Obsolete (use nodeID).
  • Changed the graph referenced from Node and NodeBehaviour from ArborFSMInternal to NodeGraph.
  • Changed to manage CalculatorNode by NodeGraph.
  • Changed to manage GroupNode with NodeGraph.

  • Changed so that you can use the RequiresContentRepaint method of the Editor class when redrawing is required.

Other

  • Dragged from NodeGraph from Inspector to Hierarchy so that it can not be moved.

FIXES

Arbor Editor

  • Fixed Copy node disappearing when ArborFSM Copy Component is executed after copying node.
  • Fixed that StackOverflowException occurred when repeating transition by TransitionTiming.Immediate.

Asset Store

Arbor 3 has been released as a separate package, so even if you have already purchased Arbor 2, a separate upgrade fee will be charged.

However, if Arbor 2 was purchased after February 7, 2018, it can be upgraded for free.

Update procedure

Please follow the procedure below when updating Arbor.

  1. Please be sure to make a backup of the project before the update.
  2. If you are opening an existing scene, create a new scene from “File / New Scene” in the menu.
  3. If you are opening the Arbor Editor window, close it once.
  4. Already Removed Arbor folder that have been imported.
  5. Import a new version of Arbor.
