Creating an alternative to the Behavior Tree’s Simple Parallel node in a State Tree involves implementing a system that can handle multiple states concurrently. Here’s a high-level approach to achieve similar functionality:

Define Concurrent States:
Identify the states that need to run in parallel and define them within your State Tree.
State Update Mechanism:
Implement a mechanism to update all concurrent states within each tick or frame of your application. This ensures that each state is given a chance to perform its actions.
State Transition Logic:
Develop logic for transitioning between states. This includes handling the conditions under which states should start, stop, or interrupt each other.
Synchronization:
Ensure that states running in parallel are synchronized appropriately, especially if they share resources or have dependencies.
Fallback and Success Conditions:
Define clear fallback and success conditions for your parallel states, similar to how a Simple Parallel node in a Behavior Tree would handle child node results.
Here’s a pseudocode example to illustrate the concept:

class StateTree:
def init(self):
self.states = [StateA(), StateB(), StateC()] # States to run in parallel

def update(self):
    for state in self.states:
        state.update()  # Update each state

class StateA:
def update(self):
# Logic for State A
pass

class StateB:
def update(self):
# Logic for State B
pass

class StateC:
def update(self):
# Logic for State C
pass

Main loop

state_tree = StateTree()
while True:
state_tree.update() # Update the state tree each frame

This is a simplified example, and in practice, you’ll need to handle the complexities of state management, such as transitions and synchronization.

I remembered that in state trees you can add multiple tasks to a state and they will run simultaneously, so it is like simple parallel almost.
