A behavior run by another one had a single flow port at its Start
and at its End, so it could not branch for its caller. And it could
not be used as an event: a call needs a pulse at its flow input,
and the events of a called graph never fire. An input like
"Confirm" (Space or Enter) had to be built again in every graph.
- A declared port of a Start or an End node can be of the kind
Flow. It sits above the values and shares their names, exec stays
reserved. Only these two nodes declare one, a struct does not.
- Run behavior shows a flow port of the Start as a further flow
input. A call arriving through it leaves the Start through the
output of that name and not through exec.
- Run behavior shows a flow port of the End as a further flow
output. The call goes on through the one the End was reached by
last, and then through exec. exec fires always, as before.
- On behavior is a new event node without a flow input. The
behavior it names runs at the node for as long as the behavior
around it runs, with all of its own events and one set of
variables per node.
- Its outputs are those of the End. It fires once the inner pulse
is through, by the output the End was reached by last, exec only
for End.exec. A pulse that never reaches the End is not seen.
- The value ports of the Start are its inputs, read anew for each
inner pulse. The Start itself never fires there.
- It nests to any depth. Under a Run behavior it stays silent. A
behavior hearing itself, however far round, is not started and
the node says "A behavior cannot listen to itself".
- The palette offers every other behavior with an End once more as
"On <name>". A node naming one without End says so.
- An On node removed while the game runs ends its behavior with On
disable and On destroy. The sounds of the entity end only with
the behavior placed on it.
- Renaming and deleting a declared port follows the edges at On
behavior nodes as it does at Run behavior nodes.
- The flow outputs of the Start of a behavior placed on an object
never fire, like its exec.
- The engine prompt of the benchmark names flow ports and On
behavior.
Tests:
- Gate on melektaus-atx right before this commit: 215 files, 3319
tests (3278 + 41), exit 0.
- e2e 19 on melektaus-atx: 39 checks (+4), all pass. e2e
1-6,17-24,26,36,51: 628 checks, all pass.
- 19 unit tests in flow-ports.test.ts, 19 in on-behavior.test.ts
on a real world, the rest in the node catalog.
- Four new e2e checks in module 19: a flow port declared by mouse
at the End, On Confirm in the graph, the call leaving through the
further output while playing, Enter and Space on a real keyboard.
- 19 unit counter-probes all fail their tests. One did not at first
(a removed node kept its instance), a test was added. Two browser
counter-probes fail their checks.
- One screenshot looked at: On Confirm with exec and pressed, the
second flow pin at the calling node.
- The e2e sum of 1680 is counted (1676 + 4), the full suite and
the smokes did not run.
- Not seen in the browser: flow inputs at the Start, nesting, the
ring, values through On behavior, the palette entry. No test
holds that the sounds of the entity go on when a heard behavior
ends.
