I have been working in c# to create a generic class (which is a class that takes a given type, then behaves off of that type) e.g. the List class, which lets you create a list of a certain post-defined type. The reason why I want to do this is less important, and more difficult to explain than just presenting my question. I want to be able to check a value from another class constantly, without having to write any excess code other than instantiating the class. Here is my code for the class:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class ValueWatch<T> : MonoBehaviour {
public delegate void OnValueChanged();
private OnValueChanged onValueChanged;
T lastValue;
public ValueWatch(T value, OnValueChanged onValueChanged) {
this.lastValue = value;
this.onValueChanged = onValueChanged;
}
public void checkValue(T value) {
if(!lastValue.Equals(value)) {
onValueChanged();
lastValue = value;
}
}
void Update() {
checkValue (
//this is where I want the value from the original class.
);
}
}
I want to be able to write
new ValueWatch<bool>(exampleBool, exampleCallBackMethod);
Without calling the
ValueWatch.checkValue(exampleBool);
Outside of the valueWatch class, but I am struggling to find a way to do this. I don't want to have to assign the ValueWatch to a variable, I want it to be a one line thing. I want to retrieve the exampleBool and compare it to the last one, is this possible? If my question is unclear I will fix it. I am using unity, update is called once per frame.
