This type of State Machine permits drastic reductions in the number of transitions when compared to a non-hierarchical State Machine that implements the same behavior; besides, it offers a more intuitive manner for defining and understanding graphical representations of State Machines consisting of many states, a typical scenario in game agents that need to exhibit complex reactive behavior.
