Event System

It uses C# events instead of unity events.

CommonSO

CommonSO tries to solve these problems:

• Each ScriptableObject can have dozens of references in the scenes, which increases the likelihood of human error.
• Debugging and tracking all the references of a ScriptableObject is difficult.
• Whenever we change the name of a ScriptableObject, we need to reassign it to all references in all scenes.

CommonSO is a singleton prefab that serves as a single source of the ScriptableObjects in a scene. When referencing ScriptableObjects, MonoBehaviours should use CommonSO. It is a good practice to map CommonSO names and structures to your Scriptable Object assets folder.

StateMachine

There are two types of transition conditions:

• Event List Condition: We provide a list of VoidEventSO as a condition for transition of a state. The condition is met when all the events are raised after entering the state.
• Statement Condition: We provide a Func as condition.

Object Pooling

It lives in ScriptableObjects > Managers folder. All GameObjects can be pooled into it.

Examples

The usage of all features is demonstrated in the Example folder.
