S.W.O.T Analysis

Proximity Trigger

Strength.
This node allows the local player or an AI player to trigger an action or movement when they have entered the trigger area or proximity zone.

Weakness.
I have never used this node before and have had trouble finding tutorials that help out explaining how it works and how to set up the flow graph.

Opportunity.
Allows the user to trigger instances when the local player or AI enter, leave or when they are inside the proximity trigger area.

Threat.
It seems like the timing of when it triggers another action or node is not 100% accurate and sometimes class with other actions.

MoveEntityto.

Strength.
This is a node that i am familiar with as i have used it in the previous semester and also in experiment one.

Weakness.
The main weakness of this node is to get the coordinates of the entity right and also the speed that the entity moves, at fast speeds it seems to damage the local player and make it look like the local player is halfway inside the entity.

Opportunity.
The opportunity with this node is that with the proximity trigger i can trigger the movement of the entity when the local player or AI enter the trigger area.

Threats.
The timing of the movement of the entity when it is trigger when the local player or the AI enter the proximity area.

Entity ID.

Strength.
This node allows certain flowgraphs to trigger on a single person and not groups letting nodes such as the MoveEntityto node to only trigger when the local player or AI enter the proximity and not both.

Weakness.
This node only allows to ID one person, so if i wanted two people to trigger an action i need multiple ID nodes in the one flowgraph.

Opportunity.
This node does not offer much opportunities, it only has the one output ID option.

Threats.
The threat will be similar to the weakness of this node, since it only has one output and only allows to assign one entity only if i wanted to assigns multiple identities i would have to use a different node.
