If you make State an ordinary interface, not generic, and have its Enter method take another interface that your teams, goalkeeprs, players, etc all implement (it can even just be empty), it ought to work.
public interface IOwner {}
public interface IState
{
void Enter(IOwner item);
}
public class ChaseState : IState
{
public void Enter(IOwner pl)
{
// ...
//...
}
}
public class Player :IOwner { }
public class Something {
IOwner owner = new Team();
IState globalState = new ChaseState();
IState currentState = new DefendState();
public void Update()
{
if (globalState != null)
{
globalState.Enter(owner);
}
else if (currentState != null)
{
currentState.Enter(owner);
}
}
}
