Overview

The onFamilyEmblemChanged event in the Family class is triggered when there's a change in the family's emblem. This event is crucial in games where visual symbols like emblems play an important role in representing family identity and heritage.

Event Definition

public event Action<Sprite> onFamilyEmblemChanged;

Description

  • Event Type: Action<Sprite>
  • Functionality: Notifies when the family's emblem is changed, providing the new emblem as a Sprite object.

Usage

The event can be used to update UI elements, reflect changes in family alliances, or trigger specific game mechanics linked to the family's visual representation. It is particularly relevant in games that emphasize heraldry, family prestige, or visual storytelling.

Example of Usage

public class FamilyEmblemListener : MonoBehaviour {
    void Start() {
        Family playerFamily = IM.Player.Family;
        if (playerFamily != null) {
            playerFamily.onFamilyEmblemChanged += HandleFamilyEmblemChange;
        }
    }

    private void HandleFamilyEmblemChange(Sprite oldEmblem) {
        // Assume 'familyEmblemImage' is a UI Image component
        Image familyEmblemImage = GetComponent<Image>();
        familyEmblemImage.sprite = IM.Player.Family.Emblem;
        Debug.Log("Player's family emblem has been updated.");
    }

    void OnDestroy() {
        if (IM.Player.Family != null) {
            IM.Player.Family.onFamilyEmblemChanged -= HandleFamilyEmblemChange;
        }
    }
}

Description
