Example of Usage
public class SchemeTargetUpdater : MonoBehaviour {
void UpdateSchemeTarget(string schemeName, Actor newTarget) {
Scheme schemeToUpdate = IM.Player.GetScheme(schemeName);
if (schemeToUpdate != null) {
schemeToUpdate.Schemer.SetTarget(newTarget);
Debug.Log($"Updated target of scheme '{schemeName}' to: {newTarget.Name}");
} else {
Debug.Log($"Scheme not found: {schemeName}");
}
}
}
Description
