Streamline Your Unity Development

By leveraging globally accessible observable variables, lists, hash sets and events, GODS allows you to easily manage and respond to changes in your game’s data without the need for complex object references or tightly coupled code.

Main features

  • Observable Variables, Lists, and Hash Sets: Globally accessible data structures that trigger events when their values change.
  • Observable Game Events and Listeners
  • Scriptable Object-Based Architecture: Decouple systems and reduce scene dependencies for a more modular and maintainable codebase.
  • Reactive Event System: Automatically respond to data changes, enabling dynamic and responsive gameplay.
  • Intelligent Tagging System: Tag Observables for filtering and reset purposes.
  • Reference Tracking: Easily investigate which objects are listening for events at runtime.
  • Flexible Save Management: Supports multi-user save slots, auto/manual saving, encryption, and screenshots.
  • Customizable: Easily generate new observable types and extend the system to fit your project needs.

The 1.2 update gave me 2 errors related to “Directory not found exception,” which resolved to 1 after exiting and restarting the editor.

It will clear when the Clear button is pressed in the Console.

I’m on Unity 6000.0.23f1.

Hi @hopeful

thank you for reporting this issue, this was an oversight by me.

It is a non critical error but an annoying one. We first need to make sure the cache directory exists before we write to it. So adding this line:

EnsureDirectoryExists(Path.Combine(ReferenceCacher.cachePath, guid));

to the WriteCache method in ReferenceCacher.cs will fix the issue. I will push a hotfix update asap.

Also, when updating from 1.0.0 it is a good idea to delete the whole “GODS Observables” folder beforehand to avoid any compile errors. As always when updating, backup your project first - just in case.

Cheers, Tobias

Edit: The fix should already be live. New version: 1.2.01
