SendMsgTo - Playable

SendMsgTo - Playable

This is an example playable to use SendMessage to call any function on a game object from TimeLine.
This opens up many possibilities for using TimeLine in unique ways.
There is also a commented out code example for directly manipulating script variables from within TimeLine on the GameObject. Hope this helps.

Usage -
sendMsgTo - Cube (GameObject)
sendMsg - ChangeInt (Function Name)
intValue - 7

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.Playables;
5. using UnityEngine.Timeline;
6.  
7. public class SendMsgTo : BasicPlayableBehaviour
8. {
9.     public ExposedReference<GameObject> sendMsgTo;
10.     private GameObject _sendMsgTo;
11.  
12.     public string sendMsg;
13.     //public string sendMsg2;
14.  
15.     public int intValue;
16.  
17.     public override void OnGraphStart(Playable playable)
18.     {
19.         _sendMsgTo = sendMsgTo.Resolve(playable.GetGraph().GetResolver());
20.     }  
21.    
22.     public override void OnBehaviourPlay(Playable playable, FrameData info)
23.     {
24.         if (_sendMsgTo != null)
25.         {
26.             _sendMsgTo.SendMessage (sendMsg, intValue, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
27.             //_sendMsgTo.GetComponent<Test> ().diag = sendMsg2;
28.         }
29.     }
30.    
31.     public override void OnBehaviourPause(Playable playable, FrameData info)
32.     {
33.        
34.     }
35. }
36.  

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class Test : MonoBehaviour {
6.  
7.     public bool test;
8.     public int secs = 5;
9.     public float rec;
10.     public int times;
11.     public string diag;
12.  
13.     // Use this for initialization
14.     void Start () {
15.        
16.     }
17.    
18.     // Update is called once per frame
19.     void Update () {
20.        
21.     }
22.  
23.     public void ChangeInt(int i)
24.     {
25.         secs = i;
26.         times++;
27.     }
28. }

 

Thanks!
