Hello,

I was wondering if someone could tell me an efficient way to implement FSM with Tier1 Basic language.

The way I have been doing it, is with tons of nested if-Statements and variables that ask whether a certain state is on already or not.

But this eventually becomes so messy and it is hardly maintainable anymore.

FSM? If you mean his most revered noodleness the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I am pretty sure Pastafarians would object to him/she/it being simulated or emulated in software...

FSM - Finite state machine (probably?)

....its just simple programming really. Do only what you need to, when you need to do it.

Check out the code in the Making an "Old School" FPS Game in the Chat forum. Go to the last page and get latest source. I use FSMs about always in my game projects and that one uses them for the main game state management, enemies... everything basically.

I am working on a 2D shmup quickstart template project currently and will post that maybe tonight or tomorrow. It also uses FSMs and is a smaller project so might be better for learning.
