Action Reference

This page lists common Roadrunner Actions along with a description and demonstration of them. Please see the official Roadrunner docs page on actions for more information on implementing the actions in your program.

Built-in Actions​

SequentialAction​

Parameters
SequentialAction(Action actions)​
SequentialAction(List<Action> initialActions)​

Executes actions one after another (sequentially).

Action awesomeAction = new SequentialAction(
  coolActionHere,
  otherCoolAction
);

ParallelAction​

Parameters
ParallelAction(Action actions)​
ParallelAction(List<Action> initialActions)​

Executes multiple actions at the same time. Action terminates when all actions finish.

Action awesomeAction = new ParallelAction(
  actionOne,
  actionExecutedAtSameTime
);

RaceAction​

Parameters
RaceActionAction(Action actions)​
RaceActionAction(List<Action> initialActions)​

Executes multiple actions at the same time. Action terminates as soon as one action finishes.

Action awesomeAction = new RaceAction(
  reallySlowAction,
  reallyQuickAction // The RaceAction will finish whenever the first action returns.
);

SleepAction​

Parameters
SleepAction(Action actions)​
SleepAction(List<Action> initialActions)​
CODE HERE

InstantAction​

Parameters
InstantAction(InstantFunction f)​

Action that instantly runs. This is useful for servo movements because we don't know when the servo gets to its target position (this could be used in a SequentialAction with a delay).

// Action immediately returns
Action awesomeAction = new InstantAction(
  coolAction,
  reallyCoolAction
);

NullAction​

Does nothing. This action can be used when a function needs to return an action that doesn't do anything (maybe if the next action depended on whether a certain game object was detected).

Action boringAction = new NullAction()

Custom Actions​
