Whats the "proper way" to get a GameObject to fire off an Event.... from the outside of that object?

Hi there,...

I've been running around in circles with this problem for days, and I suspect I have something to learn about "static". Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

I have these three Objects: Trigger, Emitter & Subscriber. I can make the Emitter fire-off an Event and the subscriber springs into action. Awesome!


But every now and then, I need another object (Trigger) to kinda "punch" the Emitter to fire-off that event too.

I thought the most elegant way would be to just call the corresponding function, but I can't do that,... unless I make the function static:


...but then I can't fire off the Event anymore,... unless that's static too:


So I made MyEvent static too and everything appeared fine,... but now I can't see the Event from the Inspector anymore...




What am I missing? Do I really have to instantiate an Emitter object somewhere? And if so, where?
I find the code to be much more elegant with the Emitter functions being static and me able to just call them through Emitter.RaiseEvent()

Help much appreciated.

 

Ahhhrghhh,..... I GOT IT!!!!!! I GOT IT!!!!!! (At least I think I got it)

How could I've been so dumb?!?

I know, I know, it's pretty silly to answer your own question on the forums, but it just occurred to me...

The Trigger object needs a reference to the Emitter in order to call it's functions!


and then the event gets fired twice
