Gostate is a lightweight Godot plugin that provides a simple node-based hierarchical state machine system.

✨ Features

• Easy to get started - drop a GoStateMachine into your scene, add a couple of State nodes and pick an initial state. No boilerplate required.
• Organize behaviour visually - group related states and nested machines in the scene tree so your game logic reads like a map.
• Predictable lifecycle - GoState nodes emit signals when they become active or inactive so you can hook up animations, sounds, or setup/teardown code without guessing timing. They also expose most of the basic Godot overridable nodes such as _state_physics_process, _state_input, etc...
• Event-driven transitions - wire transitions with trigger_state_event(...) from code for quick, readable flow control.
• Lightweight and non-intrusive - small scripts, no external dependencies, and editor-friendly warnings so you spend less time debugging setup.

⚡ Quick start

1. Add a GoStateMachine node to your scene.
2. Add two child GoState nodes as children of the GoStateMachine and set the initial_state property in the state machine to one of them.
3. Add child GoStateTransition nodes under each state.
4. Trigger transitions by calling trigger_state_event(&"your_event") on the state machine or state nodes.
