I want to add Selectable 'process_frame' for BTree and FSM + API changes question about behaviourtoolkit HOT 5 CLOSED

Thank you for your input! I was actually planning on rewriting/refactoring the BT stuff anyways, since you probably don't want the tick to run on each _process tick anyways. This also includes the renaming of the Status enum to something like BehaviourStatus and put it directly in the base class of all nodes. Giving the option to switch between IDLE and PHYSICS is a good idea!

I poked at Beehave and their master also has it now (althoug AssetLib version doesnt). I would probably implement it in similar way, although they don't provide delta in tick() so users while coding the leafs will have to guess which process the Tree is using.

I could be wrong, but I think Beehave also stores its delta on the blackboard.

So in conclusion: Both BT and FSM need an export to toggle different process types and a way to tell them how often they should run. You can take a look at the branch releated to #3 where I started toying around with grouping Patterns together and have them called in alternating order. There needs to be a way to have them update on a lower rate to save on performance, as not all AIs/NPCs need super responsive behaviour.

Could you open a seperate issue for the API changes? I think that is something interesting to discuss for a 2.0.0 release, while the selectable process should be be pretty easy to add. If you have any PRs in mind, feel free to add them too!

@SirPigeonz take a look at #27 and tell me what you think of it. Is that what you had in mind?

@SirPigeonz Thank you for this very useful contribution. I haven't put a lot of thought into this thing yet, as I was waiting until I really started implementing #3. I just merged your PR! I'd be happy to discuss further API changes for the 2.0.0 version in another issue. If anything is okay on your end, I'll happily close this one!
