Run Actions from Code
What you should know beforehand:
Shell locks
Examples (?):
Running an action is done via the ActionManager component
. Synchronously:
var actionManager = Shell.Instance.GetComponent<IActionManager>();
actionManager.ExecuteAction<ActionShowMessageBox>();
Or asynchronously. In this case, you have to pass a lifetime as well (if the lifetime is terminated before the action is executed, the action is removed from the queue):
actionManager.ExecuteActionAsync<ActionShowMessageBox>(_lifetime);
To have more options on how to execute the action (synchronously or asynchronously with various types of locks), you may decide to wrap a synchronous ExecuteAction
call with one of the ShellLocks
methods:
var shellLocks = Shell.Instance.GetComponent<IShellLocks>();
shellLocks.ExecuteOrQueue(_lifetime, "ExecuteSampleAction", () =>
{
actionManager.ExecuteAction<ActionShowMessageBox>();
});
