Can I create a pointer to poll a float from any source ?
Is there a way to access any variable by reference in an object without hard-coding it for every possible combination?
I'm developing on unity and I want to add a module in my game that could watch any particular float in a GameObject to then change another float in another GameObject once it reaches a certain value.
As an example: A "Trigger" Object/Module which set the value of Hunger=1 in a brain Object when the value of Fullness<0.5 is reached in a stomach Object.
As I'll have a big number of possible combinations I don't want to hardcode it by creating a daughter of the Trigger Class for each of them.
My initial idea was to use pointers that would be directed to the good floats to watch/change upon initialization. But apparently, we can't use unsafe code inside iterators (IEnumerator) so I'm not sure how to poll the value of Fullness.
To give an example of what I would like :
public Class Trigger{
private float* ToPoll;
private float* ToChange;
public void SetTrigger(float* poll, float* change){
ToPoll = poll;
ToChange = change;
// the loop would be a IEnumerator, not a litteral loop
while(*ToPoll < 0.5f){
sleep(0.1)
}
*ToChange = 1f
}
}
void Main(){
Trigger trigger1, trigger2;
trigger1.SetTrigger(&Stomach.fullness, &Brain.hunger)
trigger2.SetTrigger(&Sun.activityLevel, &Earth.radiationLevel)
// ^ Literally any float from any object
}
Do you have any ideas how to or better ways to implement it?
