The behavior system consists of two parts: hkx behavior files which store the character's behavior info and hks Havok script files which trigger the behaviors in the character's behavior files.

Every frame, it runs the tasks that have been queued, until they voluntarily mark themselves to end. Each task is a class that has a series of “Steps”, which are like nodes in a state machine. Each step performs a set of actions, and is responsible for selecting which of it's own steps runs next. It can also queue other tasks.
