Generic StateMachine Module

#1

Hello Robloxians and Developers, Pretty funny eh?

Anyway… I have made yet another helpful module for devs, To save you about hmmm… 120 lines? and 1-2 hours of your time making an state machine.

Yes you saw it right, State Machine.

I have made an generalized state machine module that allows you to have StateMachine for anything you want, With exit, update and enter functions.

What is a State Machine? Source

A state machine is a behavior model. It consists of a finite number of states and is therefore also called finite-state machine (FSM) (Not all state machines are limited to finite amount of states). Based on the current state and a given input the machine performs state transitions and produces outputs. There are basic types like Mealy and Moore machines and more complex types like Harel and UML statecharts.

I am always looking for tips and trying to improve, So please if you think i can do something better then reply to this and let me know

Forgot to add that in there, But there i do have a wally package for it too.
genericstatemachine = "itzmrratsp/genericstatemachine@0.1.1"

I think it’s important to note that not all state machines have finite states, This line seems to incorrectly state this:

I can provide some examples of ISMs, but they are largely unused in game development. BIggest examples would probably be integer counters, turing machines, and Neal.fun’s InfiniteCraft.

A good example of a StateMachine within Roblox (built in) are the Humanoid States, alongside with the EvaluateStateMachine property.

I didn’t write this, I put the source up there. But i will add that in.
Thanks!
