About the video:
If you’ve ever tried building a complex RPG menu system in Godot and ended up with a script longer than War and Peace, this one’s for you.
In this video, I show how to use LimboAI’s hierarchical state machines (HSMs) to cleanly manage multi-layered UI systems—like party menus, inventory screens, and settings—without turning your codebase into spaghetti.
We’ll cover:
Why traditional UI control scripts in Godot can spiral out of control
How LimboAI (normally used for AI) can be repurposed for UI flow
Building a modular RPG-style menu system step-by-step
Using states, substates, and transitions to keep everything manageable
Handling input (like cancel/back) in a clean, scalable way
If you like Godot’s node-based UI but want a more structured way to control it, this approach might completely change how you build interfaces.
Also yes… it’s pronounced GOH-DOT. We’re settling this.
