hey i asked at work and found out that how our AI works is that each person
can be in multiple states (kind of) at one time.
how it works at work is we have multiple state machines on a person, and
they are all running at once, so each of those state machines can be in a
different state (thus the multiple states at a time).
that might be more than we need, there's a pretty GUI interface to do the
state based logic at work, but here you have to code it all manually in lua
so it might not be worth the extra complexity ::shrug::
whatever you think is best probably will work, but im a big fan of the state
based logic, it works pretty well! (:
