Using with CPP

Managing Instances

As of now C++ usage with this plugin is recommended only for managing instances. Creating the actual State Machines should be done with the new State Machine Blueprint Editor.

Naming

All classes generally start with SM (USM, FSM, etc)

Build.cs

• In your PROJECT.Build.cs file add "SMSystem" to PublicDependencyModuleNames

File Usage

• #include "SMUtils.h"

• An instance class is USMInstance*

• The utility helper class is USMBlueprintUtils.

• An instance can be instantiated by calling USMBlueprintUtils::CreateStateMachineInstance(TSubclassOf < class USMInstance >, UObject* Context);

Just call StateMachine->Start(); when you are ready.

Design-Time

Designing State Machines in C++ is not recommended. This plugin works by heavily utilizing Blueprint functionality and a custom Kismet Compiler.
