Upgrading Task/Conditional/Decorators to Pro version

[srgfraser]

I'm starting the process of providing an upgraded version of "Behavior Designer for Malbers Animations" to the Pro version. Most of the changes are pretty straightforward but I've hit a couple of snags.

One --
You used to provide an Owner member on the Task which I used on Drawing Gizmos like something like this:

var beginDirection = Quaternion.AngleAxis(-halfFov, Owner.transform.up) * Owner.transform.forward;
UnityEditor.Handles.DrawSolidArc(Owner.transform.TransformPoint(selfOffset.Value), Owner.transform.up, beginDirection, fieldOfViewAngle.Value, maxViewDistance.Value);

At this point I'm not sure what to use as a replacement.

Two --
You used to provide the virtualOnBehaviorComplete()

Again, I'm not sure which is the best override or event handler that provides the same functionality.


Finally, an observation:

Was removing TaskCategory a wise choice? With its removal the task selection dialog becomes filled with duplicate Tasks like Wander, MoveTo, etc based on the package that implemented the functionality. I guess I could prefix all my Tasks with BDMA_ but that gets ugly really quick. Personally, I thought Category was a nice, elegant solution.

You can use m_BehaviorTree directly.

It's now stopped or destroyed. See: https://opsive.com/support/documentation/behavior-designer-pro/api/

Categories will eventually be coming back. This is due to the new filter window and I have it on my list to expand upon. Probably version 2.1.
