    Is there a way to subscribe to text changes of the standard TextMeshProUGUI?

    I am working on a script that automatically updates other texts to the value of a TextMeshProUGUI, to use for outlines or double texts and the such.

    Greetings, Klaas

    Take a look at example 23 - Animating Vertex Attributes and related script which makes use of
    ON_TEXT_CHANGED event.

    These examples are included in the TMP Examples & Extras.

    Great. Now show me the code.

    Code (CSharp):
    1.        
    2.         TMPro_EventManager.TEXT_CHANGED_EVENT.Add(ON_TEXT_CHANGED);
    3.  
    4.         void ON_TEXT_CHANGED(Object obj)
    5.         {
    6.             if (obj == m_TextComponent)
    7.                 hasTextChanged = true;
    8.         }
    Sorry for the necrobump, but I really wanted to not have to download the examples ;)
