Power Event

Using the UnityEvent feature on each controller will allow you to add multiple event types, see the demo scene for a clear example on this.

void ActivateGenerator()
{
     rumbling = true;
     activateGenerator.Invoke();
}

void DeactivateGenerator()
{
     rumbling = false;
     deactivateGenerator.Invoke();
}

• The events below run the:

  • Activate Generator script

  • Start an audio effect parented to the object (3D generator sound)

  • Turns the red light off

  • Turns the green light on

The opposite happens in the deactivate section

• Below is the script that gets activated by the event

    public class ActivateGenerator : MonoBehaviour
    {
        [SerializeField] private Renderer[] thisMaterial = null;
        private string emissionName = "_EMISSION";

        [SerializeField] private GameObject[] lights = null;

        public void PowerLights()
        {
            foreach (GameObject lightObjects in lights)
            {
                lightObjects.SetActive(true);
            }

            foreach (Renderer emissiveMaterial in thisMaterial)
            {
                emissiveMaterial.material.EnableKeyword(emissionName);
            }
        }

        public void DeactivateLights()
        {
            foreach (GameObject lightObjects in lights)
            {
                lightObjects.SetActive(false);
            }

            foreach (Renderer emissiveMaterial in thisMaterial)
            {
                emissiveMaterial.material.DisableKeyword(emissionName);
            }
        }
