Every behaviortree task gets called two times in a row

Development Programming & Scripting

As always… I keep doing silly mistakes myself. For some reason I had started behavior tree two times with different functions:


BT_Component->StartTree(*Character->BehaviorTreeAsset);

RunBehaviorTree(Character->BehaviorTreeAsset);


As UBehaviorTreeComponent’s function StartTree checks whether tree isn’t already running, it starts the tree 

void UBehaviorTreeComponent::StartTree(UBehaviorTree& Asset, EBTExecutionMode::Type ExecuteMode /*= EBTExecutionMode::Looped*/)
{
	// clear instance stack, start should always run new tree from root
	UBehaviorTree* CurrentRoot = GetRootTree();
	
	if (CurrentRoot == &Asset && TreeHasBeenStarted())
	{
		UE_VLOG(GetOwner(), LogBehaviorTree, Log, TEXT("Skipping behavior start request - it's already running"));
		return;
	}
        // irrelevant at the moment

As AAIController's function RunBehaviorTree doesn't check that, behavior tree will run behavior tree once more, which makes me question which of these functions should I use to initalize the behaviortree.

Waiting for your response!
With regards!
