Method RequestAction

RequestAction()

Requests an action for this agent.

Declaration

public void RequestAction()

Remarks

Call RequestAction() to repeat the previous action returned by the agent's most recent decision. A new decision is not requested. When you call this function, the Agent instance invokes OnActionReceived(ActionBuffers) with the existing action vector.

You can use RequestAction() in situations where an agent must take an action every update, but doesn't need to make a decision as often. For example, an agent that moves through its environment might need to apply an action to keep moving, but only needs to make a decision to change course or speed occasionally.

You can add a DecisionRequester component to the agent's GameObject to drive the agent's decision making and action frequency. When you use this component, do not call RequestAction() separately.

Note that RequestDecision() calls RequestAction(); you do not need to call both functions at the same time.
