Adding your own logic

The core of TBE’s API is the RtUnitBhv. Please do not directly modify any values herein.

TBE is already extensible just because of Unity’s component based architecture.

But here we want to talk about some points where and how to best hook into TBE:

Regarding Units

Programmatically instantiate a Unit:

The following code creates a Unit PLUS gives you a place to add your post init logic.

var createdUnit = UnitManager.CreateUnitForPlayer(unitPrefab, player, position);
createdUnit.UnitReady += unit => {
    Debug.Log($"Unit {unit.DisplayName} ready.");
}

CreateUnitForPlayer has an additional overload where you can (aditionally) specify the UnitBase. This is the method that enables using one prefab for multiple different unit types, and thus it will override the UnitBase configured in the prefab.

Listening for created Units:

In order to get informed of ANY created Unit make a MonoBehaviour and add:

private void Start() {
    MessageBus.Singleton.OfType<UnitInitialized>()
        .Subscribe(OnUnitSpawned).AddTo(this);
}

private void OnUnitSpawned(UnitInitialized message) {
    Debug.Log($"Unit: {message.Unit.DisplayName} Initialized.");
}
