UnityEvent and Invokes

Hi

I know that the UnityEvent.Invoke function invokes an event instance. But is there an easy way to invoke ALL instances of a UnityEvent in the scene? Here is my event class:

Code (CSharp):

1. [System.Serializable]
2. public class EventCameraChange : UnityEvent{}

The event is then added to objects via components (possibly of different types) with the member

Code (CSharp):

1. public EventCameraChange CameraEvent;

This event is supposed to be 'scene wide' in that any number of game objects must know when it happens, not just one.

Thanks in advance.

 

If I understand you correctly, you don't want to use the inspector to make the event known to all objects (which can get pretty tedious), but rather want to do it by scripting only. I think that should be done by using the Singleton pattern.

 

Hi blizzy,

Thanks for the reply. You understand me correctly. I could use the Singleton Pattern. But I was wondering if Unity offered a native method, since it already offers Invoke for instances. EG:

MyEventType.InvokeAll();

 

I'd recommend using Advanced C# Messenger or something similar, since it lets you fire off events in a decoupled way. For example I use a modified version that fires off an event when the screen resolution changes. Anything that needs to be resized can opt into the message and change it's size as needed.
