Finite State Machines in Godot are extremely useful and today I want to walk you through how to create a state machine step by step while explaining when, why, and how to use a state machine to your advantage! In this tutorial you will learn everything from defining states, defining transitions between states, and saving all that information within a resource file and accessing that file all throughout the game to switch states in the way you defined the transitions. This Godot 4 tutorial makes use of the LimboAi addon as it helps simplify this process enormously.
