How to assign multiple EditorApplication.update delegates in JS?

Questions & Answers
1

I have an object which needs to tie into the editor's update loop to keep itself up to date. I thus added this code to it's primary JS script:

#if UNITY_EDITOR
function OnEnable() {
    EditorApplication.update = Update;
}
#endif

I also need to have multiple object's of it's type in a scene, so I modified the code to this:

#if UNITY_EDITOR
function OnEnable() {
    EditorApplication.update += Update;
}
function OnDisable() {
    EditorApplication.update -= Update;
}
#endif

Unfortunately, Unity's compiler balks at the syntax:

BCE0051: Operator '+' cannot be used with a left hand side of type 'function(): void' and a right hand side of type 'function(): void'.

Isn't this a basic feature of delegates? Am I doing something wrong, or is Unity's js implementation totally screwed up? (I know we couldn't create multidimensional arrays for quite a while, is this a similar type of issue?) If so, what's the best way to work around it?

Unityscript doesn't support it

I would make a simple c# script which exposes static Add and Remove functions, which do += and -= for you

Try (instead of += which does not work in JS):

var cb:EditorApplication.CallbackFunction = Update;//function Update

EditorApplication.update = System.Delegate.Combine(cb, EditorApplication.update);
