Awake/Start/OnDisable when object is disabled.

Hi. I've made a script which is responsible for languages in my game - It calls an event when I change language, so every subscribed game object is changing it's text, but the problem is that some UI elements in menu are disabled until I go to certain menu page and neither Start, Awake or even OnDisable gets called till I enable it, so it can't subscribe to this event. As soon as it subscribes to event everything is fine - every game object with text component is changing language when it's disabled or enabled.

My question is - can i somehow subscribe to event when game object is disabled at start?

This is the part of script that is attached to game objects with Text component:

Code (CSharp):

1.    [SerializeField]Text text;
2.  
3.    void Awake()
4.    {
5.       RegisterOnLanguageChanged();
6.    }
7.  
8.    void ChangeText(Dictionary<string, string> _languageDictionary)
9.    {
10.       if (text == null)
11.          text = this.GetComponent<Text>();
12.       try
13.       {
14.          text.text = _languageDictionary[this.name];
15.       }
16.       catch
17.       {
18.          text.text = this.name;
19.       }
20.    }
21.  
22.    void RegisterOnLanguageChanged()
23.    {
24.       LanguagesScript.OnLanguageChanged += ChangeText;
25.    }
26.  
27.    void UnregisterOnLanguageChanged()
28.    {
29.       LanguagesScript.OnLanguageChanged -= ChangeText;
30.    }
31.  
32.    void OnDestroy()
33.    {
34.       UnregisterOnLanguageChanged();
35.    }
36.  

 

You can always start things enabled for a frame, then disable them.

Another alternative is to simply poll the language in Awake.

 

Ok, I've made it with your 2nd method which I don't think is the best idea, but it works. I think there should be other way, but I'll keep that for now till I find other way. Anyway thank you for an answear

 

Hi K1ng Zero, did you find any other way to do this?
