How to make your own Events

Here's an example of an empty event class that does nothing

public class ExampleEvent : PlatesEventAttribute
{
    public ExampleEvent(){
        name = "example_event";
        text = " plate(s) will do nothing in ";
        type = EventType.Plate;
    }
}

name - The name of the event for use with the plates_event console command

text - The text shown when the event is counting down

type - Can be EventType.Plate, EventType.Player or EventType.Arena depending on how you want your event to act (More details below)

Plate Events

When type = EventType.Plate, the affected Plate is highlighted and the OnEvent(Plate plate) function is called.

 
public class PlateGrow10Event : PlatesEventAttribute
{
    public PlateGrow10Event(){
        name = "plate_grow_10";
        text = " plate(s) will grow 10% in ";
        type = EventType.Plate;
    }

    public override void OnEvent(Plate plate){
        plate.Grow(0.10f);
    }
}

Player Events

When type = EventType.Player, the affected Player is highlighted and the OnEvent(Entity entity) function is called.

 
public class PlayerGrowEvent : PlatesEventAttribute
{
    public PlayerGrowEvent(){
        name = "player_grow";
        text = " player(s) will grow in ";
        type = EventType.Player;
    }

    public override void OnEvent(Entity entity){
        entity.Scale += 0.1f;
    }
}

Arena Events

When type = EventType.Arena, nothing is highlighted and the OnEvent() function is called.

Because nothing is highlighted, you'll have to apply glow to the entities you affect yourself (if any)

 
public class ArenaPlateGrow10Event : PlatesEventAttribute
{
    public ArenaPlateGrow10Event(){
        name = "arena_grow_10";
        text = "All plates will grow 10% in ";
        type = EventType.Arena;
        minAffected = 1;
        maxAffected = 1;
    }

    public override void OnEvent(){
        foreach(var plate in Entity.All.OfType<Plate>()){
            plate.Grow(0.10f);
            plate.GlowActive = true;
            plate.GlowColor = Color.Blue;
        }
    }
}

minAffected - The minimum amount of times the event should trigger

maxAffected - The maximum amount of times the event should trigger

(Arena events typically have both set to 1 but you can set them to whatever you want in any other event type)

How to make your own Round Type

Here's an example of a round type that does nothing

public class BigPlatesRoundType : PlatesRoundAttribute
{
    public BigPlatesRoundType(){
        name = "Nothing";
        command = "round_nothing";
    }

    public override void OnEvent(){
        Log.Info("Nothing happened");
    }
}

name - The name of the round shown in-game

command - The name of the round for use in the plates_round console command

OnEvent() - This function is called at the start of the game after all plates have been initialized

Console Commands

These are useful debug tools for testing newly added events and round types.

plates_start - Force starts a new game. Don't use this while a game is already running.

plates_event <event_name> - Sets the next event in the current game.

plates_round <round_name> - Sets the round type of the next game.

Other Useful Information

If you're creating a custom Entity that you want to be properly cleaned up on Game End, add this to your entity's constructor:

PlatesGame.AddEntity(this);

or when instantiating your entity, you can add it to a plate's entity list so it's cleaned up when the plate is destroyed:

public override void OnEvent(Plate plate){
    var ent = new PlateGrowInfinitelyEnt(plate);
    plate.AddEntity(ent);
}

If you're making custom UI for one of your events, create a class that looks something like this:

[LoadUI]
public class ExampleUI : Panel
{
}

The class must derive Panel and must have [LoadUI] the line above to be added to the RootPanel on game start.
