Event for Unity

A Unity3D package for triggering and handling events. Based heavly on https://unity.com/how-to/architect-game-code-scriptable-objects#code-example-gameevent-scriptableobject.

Example

Features

• Events as ScriptableObjects
• Event dispatching via messages and UnityEvent

Install

Download and copy the Plugins directory from this repository to your project.

Quickstart

1. Create event: Assets/Create/DonUrks/GameEvent named "MyFirstEvent"
2. Prepare trigger: add public DonUrks.Event.GameEvent triggerMyFirstEvent; property to your triggering script
3. Place event: drop the "MyFirstEvent" asset in the Inspector to your triggering script component
4. Trigger event: call triggerMyFirstEvent.Raise(this) in your triggering script
5. Prepare Listener: add DonUrks.Event.GameEventListener component to your listening GameObject
6. Register event: drop the "MyFirstEvent" asset in the Inspector to your GameEventListener component

Now every time MyFirstEvent is raised, every OnMyFirstEvent(Object sender) method in your components of your listening GameObject is called.

Sample

Open the Event/Sample/SampleScene and press play.
