BehaviorTreeData
================

**Inherits:** 

Represents current state of a :ref:`BehaviorTree<class_BehaviorTree>` instance.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

This class is used by the LimboAI debugger for the serialization and deserialization of :ref:`BehaviorTree<class_BehaviorTree>` instance data.

Additionally, it can be used with :ref:`BehaviorTreeView<class_BehaviorTreeView>` to visualize the current state of a :ref:`BehaviorTree<class_BehaviorTree>` instance. It is meant to be utilized in custom in-game tools.

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`BehaviorTreeData<class_BehaviorTreeData>` **create_from_tree_instance** **(** :ref:`BTTask<class_BTTask>` tree_instance **)** |static|

Returns current state of the ``tree_instance`` encoded as a **BehaviorTreeData**, suitable for use with :ref:`BehaviorTreeView<class_BehaviorTreeView>`.

Behavior tree instance can be acquired with :ref:`BTPlayer.get_tree_instance<class_BTPlayer_method_get_tree_instance>`.
