OnCultureChanged

onCultureChanged Event in Actor Class

Overview

The onCultureChanged event is an essential feature of the Actor class, triggered when there is a change in the actor's cultural affiliation. This event is pivotal in games where cultural dynamics play a significant role in character development, narrative progression, or gameplay mechanics.

Description

• Event Type: Action<Culture>
• Functionality: This event is activated when the actor's culture is changed. It enables the implementation of specific responses or actions upon a change in cultural affiliation, facilitating dynamic character development and interaction based on cultural diversity.

Usage

The event is used to trigger custom actions or updates in the game when an actor undergoes a cultural change. This can include adjusting character dialogue, updating quests or storyline elements, or modifying character interactions to reflect the new cultural background.

Subscribing to the Event

Subscribe to the onCultureChanged event within a MonoBehaviour script to handle changes in an actor's culture. Remember to unsubscribe from the event as necessary to maintain optimal game performance and prevent unintended behavior.

Example of Usage

public class CultureChangeHandler : MonoBehaviour {
    public Actor actor;

    void Start() {
        if (actor != null) {
            actor.onCultureChanged += OnCultureChanged;
        }
    }

    private void OnCultureChanged(Culture newCulture) {
        Debug.Log($"{actor.FullName} has changed culture to {newCulture.CultureName}.");
        // Implement logic to respond to the actor's cultural change
    }

    void OnDestroy() {
        if (actor != null) {
            actor.onCultureChanged -= OnCultureChanged;
        }
    }
}

In this example, the CultureChangeHandler script, attached to a GameObject, subscribes to the onCultureChanged event of an Actor. When the actor's culture changes, the OnCultureChanged method is called, logging the change and allowing for additional logic that responds to the new cultural background.

Remarks

• The onCultureChanged event enhances the depth and realism of the game by reflecting the dynamic nature of cultural identity.
• Properly handling cultural changes can enrich the gameplay experience, offering players a more immersive and culturally responsive environment.
• This event is particularly relevant in role-playing games, simulation games, and other narrative-driven titles where cultural diversity and character evolution are key aspects of the game.
