I'm still relatively new to C#/Unity but does anyone else think async/await is really harmful in games? Is it just me? (cc @kurtismcc )

Show me the way to write this that is impervious against mistakes.
Yeh, if finding your target really is an operation that needs to be split over multiple frames, in a traditional state machine, wouldn't you need to store the target in a member variable? And therefore wouldn't it be vulnerable to identical failure conditions?

The point is in a traditional state machine, it’s obvious when you abort, because you just don’t call advance. When that’s happening on another thread, you don’t know when it’s safe to tear down because you aren’t the thread calling advance() or idle() or whatever.

Do you need to worry about concurrency though? Async can be single threaded right?
