Syntax

class UBTTask_BlueprintBase : public UBTTaskNode

Remarks

Base class for blueprint based task nodes. Do NOT use it for creating native c++ classes!

When task receives Abort event, all latent actions associated this instance are being removed. This prevents from resuming activity started by Execute, but does not handle external events. Please use them safely (unregister at abort) and call IsTaskExecuting() when in doubt.

Functions

Name Description

Protected function

void

 

FinishAbort()

Aborts task execution

Protected function

void

 

FinishExecute

(
    bool bSuccess
)

Finishes task execution with Success or Fail result

Protected function Const

bool

 

IsTaskAborting()

Check if task is currently being aborted

Protected function Const

bool

 

IsTaskExecuting()

Check if task is currently being executed

Protected function

void

 

ReceiveAbort

(
    AActor* OwnerActor
)

If blueprint graph contains this event, task will stay active until FinishAbort is called that if both generic and AI event versions are implemented only the more suitable one will be called, meaning the AI version if called for AI, generic one otherwise

Protected function

void

 

ReceiveAbortAI

(
    AAIController* OwnerController,
    APawn* ControlledPawn
)

Alternative AI version of ReceiveAbort

Protected function

void

 

ReceiveExecute

(
    AActor* OwnerActor
)

Entry point, task will stay active until FinishExecute is called.

Protected function

void

 

ReceiveExecuteAI

(
    AAIController* OwnerController,
    APawn* ControlledPawn
)

Alternative AI version of ReceiveExecute

Protected function

void

 

ReceiveTick

(
    AActor* OwnerActor,
    float DeltaSeconds
)

Tick function that if both generic and AI event versions are implemented only the more suitable one will be called, meaning the AI version if called for AI, generic one otherwise

Protected function

void

 

ReceiveTickAI

(
    AAIController* OwnerController,
    APawn* ControlledPawn,
    float DeltaSeconds
)

Alternative AI version of tick function.

Protected function

void

 

SetFinishOnMessage

(
    FName MessageName
)

Task execution will be finished (with result 'Success') after receiving specified message

Protected function

void

 

SetFinishOnMessageWithId

(
    FName MessageName,
    int32 RequestID
)

Task execution will be finished (with result 'Success') after receiving specified message with indicated ID

AbortTask

(
    UBehaviorTreeComponent& OwnerComp,
    uint8* NodeMemory

OnTaskFinished

(
    UBehaviorTreeComponent& OwnerComp,
    uint8* NodeMemory,
    EBTNodeResult::Type TaskResult
