Callback from an event

Scripting

I assume this is the correct place to post this, just have a general C# question. Can you have an event do a callback?

For example can we have this;

void Start()
{
   FindSomething("this is the thing to find", () => { Debug.Log("This should be called last"); });
}

void FindSomething(string value, System.Action OnComplete)
{
   SomeStaticClass.DoThisMethod(value).onComplete += (EventMethod) =>
   {
      Debug.Log("This should be called second");

      OnComplete();
   }; // this makes the debug.log print "This should be called second" and then "This should be called last" but doesn't call the EventMethod() below at all.
}

void EventMethod(string result, System.Action OnComplete)
{
   Debug.Log("This should be called first");

   // do something with the result string

   OnComplete();
}

Now before you ask why can’t I just do a callback with the DoThisMethod() like the others is because the SomeStaticClass belongs to another asset store product and I don’t want to have to rewrite all their code for this to work.

Think I figured it out, I can get rid of the EventMethod() all together and use the (EventMethod) which is now the returned string from the DoThisMethod().onComplete. So now I do this instead;

void FindSomething(string value, System.Action OnComplete)
{
   SomeStaticClass.DoThisMethod(value).onComplete += (result) =>
   {
      // do something with result string

      OnComplete();
   };
}
