EventDelegate in inspector (for ButtonPressed script)

Hello,

Does somebody know which namespace is needed to use EventDelegate ?

I write a C# script ButtonPressed.cs to attach to a GameObject contening a Button in order to trigger function when the button is pressed (not clicked but pressed).

A simplified version of the script is attached.

I connect OnPointerExit, OnPointerDown, OnPointerUp to ButtonPressed.redirectExit ... Down and Up using an EventTrigger.

It works and calls ButtonPressed.CallPressed() when the button is pressed.

void CallPressed()
{
Debug.Log( "PRESSED" );
}

But I want to add in my ButtonPressed an attribute to call another method from another script inside CallPressed() and I need to be able to change the method in the inspector.

So my idea is to add an EventDelegate in my script.

But when I add the EvenDelegate attribute:

public class ButtonPressed : MonoBehaviour
{
public EventDelegate myCallback;

...
}

I have a "EventDelegate not found" error message but I have no idea which namespace I should use ?

Any idea or comment about my approach is very welcome.

If there are other or better ways, I appreciate to know them. But I am very interested to be able to use an EventDelegate in the inspector with a custom script for other purposes as well. How to do it please ?

Thanks,
Nicolas.

 

UnityEvent?

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine.Events;

Thank you so much rakkarage, it works

And thank you for the very interesting link.

For those interested, EventDelegate was a mistake. In fact I should have looked for UnityEvent.

I should have written :

using UnityEngine.Events;

public class ButtonPressed : MonoBehaviour
{
public UnityEvent myCallback;

...

void CallPressed()
{
myCallback.Invoke();
}
}

I will read the reast of linked thread to hopefully see if I can generalize it to add an arbitrary parameter (int, string, ...) like it is done in a button.

 

For those like me who did not know about UnityEvent :

To link to a method with a parameter, simply connect to a method with a parameter, the inspector will update accordingly and let you insert you parameter value.
