basic state machine

I`m trying to figure out how cycling through unit states is supposed to take place. Should the algorithm be contained in a for loop? Bellow I`m trying to get a unit head towards a new destination once it has reached its first destination. When the unit reaches its destination it stops and goes idle, this is the bit I have working. When I have several units in the scene I can`t get the same unit do a (complex) sequence of things however. i.e. they all stop at reaching the end of path and go idle but when I want one of them to automatically take off again upon reaching path end, another unit does it, not the one I intended. //status: // 1 walk // 2 idle for (int i = 0; i < UnitMaxIndex[0] + 1; i++) { if (Characters[i].Status == 1) { Arrived = FolloWPath(nms * 20, &Characters[0], i, false, 10,TheScreenLetterGroup, Characters[i].ID,&Accept[0]); if (Arrived) { Characters[i].Status = 2; ConsoleMoveUp(&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;TheScreenLetterGroup[0],&Accept[0]); StringCchPrintfA(debugmess, 27, "arrived ix %d ",i); AddConsoleText2(debugmess,&TheScreenLetterGroup[0],&Accept[0]); } } if ((Characters[i].Status == 2)&&(Characters[i].ID == 1)) { int uniqueid = 1; int index = i; ResetPath(index, &Characters[0]); FindPath( Characters[index].StartPosX , Characters[index].StartPosZ, 14, 10, &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;Characters[0], index, Chart, ChartSide[0],&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;TheScreenLetterGroup[0],uniqueid,&Accept[0]); Characters[index].Status = 1; if (animationstage == 9) { timecounter++; } if (timecounter == 10) { } } } pseudo code to explain that mess code FindPath(Destination1, Charcaters[0]); for(int i=0 i < UnitCount; i++) { if(Characters[i].Status==1) { bool Arrived = FolloWPath(Characters[i]); if(Arrived) { Characters[i].Status = 2; } } if(Characters[i].Status==2)&&(Characters[i].ID == 0) { ResetPath(Characters[?]); FindPath(Destination2,Characters[?]); Characters[?].Status = 1; } }
