Call the same function on different scripts.

Questions & Answers

I am trying to call the same function on different scripts.
I place all scripts into an array and then try to call that function by iterating trough all scripts.

 private var SavableScripts : List.<MonoBehaviour> = new List.<MonoBehaviour>();
 
 public function SaveNewGame()  : void
 {
5.     for ( var i : MonoBehaviour in SavableScripts );
     {
         i.OnSaveGame();
     }
 
10.     // 2do hide saving icon
 }

This does not seem to work, it can’t find that member function OnSaveGame().

How can I accomplish this, do I have to look into generic functions using c# instead of this unityscript attempt of mine?

I do not wish to call BroadcastMessage and the like because I will not know when saving is completed that way.

You basically have 4 options:

  • Use Invoke on that MonoBehaviour reference.
  • Use a base class with a virtual method that gets overridden in your derived classes
  • Use an interface (that has to be defined in C# as that’s not possible in UnityScript afaik) and let your classes implement that interface.
  • Use reflection to sneak into the acual class, find the method you want to call and invoke it manually.
