Turns out the prototype of previous thread was causing o3de to crash easily (probably because I switched the engine version many times before the stable version launch, this probably broke something).
Also, the idea (or maybe my execution of it) wasn't any fun 
.
So, I'm trying something more cliché, from the stable version which (almost) don't crashes.
gamedev @Andre_LA@mastodon.gamedev.placeSide project progress:
Oh, I'm having progress 
This cube enemy was quite straightforward to program using script canvas (it's like UE's blueprints)
Something I want to try eventually is to incrementally port the visual code to C++:
I want to test if "prototype with SC, then port the 'spaghetti' to C++ as 'abstracted nodes'" it's a reasonable workflow
This way (in theory!), the high level behavior could be still be done visually, but the stable underlying implementation done in C++
This is the script canvas graph, on the end there's a "Attempt Attack", which is a custom node made with Script Canvas for the game.
So the idea is: I can make these custom nodes with script canvas, if I conclude that this node works and it's important, then I could (in theory) refactor the same algorithm in C++ and exporting it as a node too.
So, for the enemy graph, nothing changes (well, I need to update it to the new node), but there's less visual code (and VM usage) in the project
Now... I confess I'm not sure if I really gain something doing this, but I think it worth the try.
