Custom Events

For all the events not handled natively in Surfer, we can use CustomEvents : events that we send to Surfer in order to let SUElementCanvas/SUElementsToolkit handle them.

Animator

An example of custom events can be done with the Animator.

Basically :

  • let's add the component SUAnimatorBehaviour to an animator state machine

  • select if the behavior should run on the Animator State Enter or Exit mode

  • create an action SendCustomEvent and choose an event from the dropdown list

  • add SUElementCanvas to whatever scene object (for UIToolkit setup a SUElementsToolkit component and add a new element data) and , as event , select MyCustomEvent and then choose the event name chosen in the step above

Now , you can react to an Animator State Enter or Exit event as you wish.

LeanTouch

An example of custom events can even be LeanTouch.

Basically :

  • let's add the component LeanFingerTap to a scene object
  • let's add to the same object the component SUAction : now create a SendCustomEvent action and choose an event from the dropdown list
  • in the public event OnWorld of LeanFingerTap , drag the SUAction component in it and select the Play method

  • add SUElementCanvas to whatever scene object (for UIToolkit setup a SUElementsToolkit component and add a new element data) and , as event , select MyCustomEvent and then choose the event name chosen in the step 2

Now , you can react to a LeanTouch event as you wish.
