Start Event
- A Start Event is sent when the FSM is enabled.
- The start event activates the first state, known as the Start State.
State
- Only one State can be active at a time.
- The Active State executes Actions and receives Events.
Transition Event
- Events trigger transitions to another State.
- Events can be sent by Unity (collisions, triggers, mouse input, animation events...)
- Or by Actions (distance checks, timeouts, game logic...)
Transition
- The Active State is "exited" and the new state is "entered."
- The Graph View makes it very easy to build and debug these transitions.
Global Transition
- A Global Transition can be triggered at any time, regardless of the currently active state.
- In the example above, the character can be hit at any time, so we use a global transition.
- Global transitions can simplify FSMs by reducing the number of explicit transitions you need to define.
- They are similar to the Any State transitions in Mecanim.
