Delegate Event System | Unity/C#

Introduction

This prototype event system allows a programmer to subscribe delegates (functions/methods) to an event type. When an event is triggered, the functions subscribed to the event type are each invoked.

Concepts

• Each delegate subscribed to the event system must parameterise the 'Jacobs.Events.IEventData' data type.

• When an event is triggered, the type of event taking place is determined by the (System.Type) value of the parameter that derives the 'Jacobs.Events.IEventData' interface.

• It is possible to initialise multiple instances of the event system; however, it is recommended that the developer uses the public 'Singleton' property when keeping a record of a single; instance for multiple scripts to utilise. A menu item under Extension/Event-System-Instance is available if a singleton is required before the start of a game.

Notice

Since this is a prototype, if you discover any bugs or unintended features, don't hesitate to comment so I can get to work on a fix. Thanks!
