Class Tactic<TBeliefSet>

Namespace

Aplib.Core.Intent.Tactics

Assembly

Aplib.Core.dll

Tactics are the real meat of Goal<TBeliefSet>s, as they define how the agent can approach the goal in hopes of finding a solution which makes the Goal's heuristic function evaluate to being completed. A tactic represents a smart combination of Action<TBeliefSet>s, which are executed in a Belief Desire Intent Cycle.

protected Tactic(IMetadata metadata, Predicate<TBeliefSet> guard)

Parameters

metadata IMetadata

Metadata about this tactic, used to quickly display the tactic in several contexts.

guard Predicate<TBeliefSet>

The guard of the tactic.

Tactic(Predicate<TBeliefSet>)

Initializes a new instance of the Tactic<TBeliefSet> class with a specified guard.

protected Tactic(Predicate<TBeliefSet> guard)

Parameters

guard Predicate<TBeliefSet>

The guard of the tactic.

Predicate<TBeliefSet>

Properties

Metadata

Gets the metadata of the instance. This metadata may be useful for debugging or logging.

public IMetadata Metadata { get; }

Property Value

IMetadata

Methods

GetAction(TBeliefSet)

Gets the first enabled action of the tactic.

public abstract IAction<TBeliefSet>? GetAction(TBeliefSet beliefSet)

Parameters

beliefSet TBeliefSet

Returns

IAction<TBeliefSet>

A concrete IAction<TBeliefSet> that the tactic can perform, or null if no actions are enabled.

GetLogChildren()

Gets the children of the loggable object.

public abstract IEnumerable<ILoggable> GetLogChildren()

Returns

IEnumerable<ILoggable>

The children of the loggable object.

IsActionable(TBeliefSet)

Determines whether the tactic is actionable.

public virtual bool IsActionable(TBeliefSet beliefSet)

Parameters

beliefSet TBeliefSet

Returns

bool

True if the tactic is actionable, false otherwise.

Operators

implicit operator Tactic<TBeliefSet>(Action<TBeliefSet>)

Implicitly lifts an action into a tactic.

public static implicit operator Tactic<TBeliefSet>(Action<TBeliefSet> action)

Parameters

action Action<TBeliefSet>

The action which on its own can function as a tactic. Meaning, the tactic consists of just a single action.

Returns

Tactic<TBeliefSet>

The most logically matching tactic, wrapping around action.
