Detailed Description

Inherit from this class to create an Action that returns some data from a given input. Can be used to create a Toolbox Actions and/or RuleEngine Actions. Check PiXYZ.Plugin.Unity.Tools.ActionBase for more implementation details.

Warning

If creating a Toolbox Action, the Input & Output must be of type IList<GameObject>

Template Parameters

Input	Specifies what kind of data enters your actions. (Eg: IList<GameObject>, IList<Material>, Mesh, string[], ...)
Output	Specifies what kind of data the actions outputs. (Eg: IList<GameObject>, IList<Material>, Mesh, string[], ...)

Member Function Documentation

getErrors()

virtual string [] getErrors ( )

virtualinherited

Virtual method for Error checks before execution.

Returning a non null string array will display each string as an Error on the RuleEngine and Toolbox.

Returns

getInfos()

virtual string [] getInfos ( )

virtualinherited

Virtual method for Info checks before execution.

Returning a non null string array will display each string as an Information on the RuleEngine and Toolbox.

Returns

getWarnings()

virtual string [] getWarnings ( )

virtualinherited

Virtual method for Warning checks before execution.

Returning a non null string array will display each string as a Warning on the RuleEngine and Toolbox.

Returns

initialize()

void initialize ( )

inherited

Initialize parameters from RuleEngineParameters attributes.

invoke()

object invoke ( object  data )

inherited

Runs the action through reflection

Parameters

data

Returns

Takes the generic type Builds an instance an run !

onBeforeDraw()

virtual void onBeforeDraw ( )

virtualinherited

Virtual method for implementing operations before the Action gets drawn in the RuleEngine or the Toolbox.

run()

abstract Output run ( Input  input )

pure virtual

Abstract execution method.

When creating a new action, this method implementation will hold all the processing code.

Parameters

input

Input data, of the given inputType

Returns

Output data, of the given outputType

Member Data Documentation

inputType

override Type inputType => typeof(Input)

Input type.

Specifies what kind of data enters your actions. (Eg: IList<GameObject>, IList<Material>, Mesh, string[], ...)

isInRuleEngine

bool isInRuleEngine => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(menuPathRuleEngine)

inherited

Returns true if this Action is available trough the RuleEngine.

isInToolbox

bool isInToolbox => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(menuPathToolbox) && inputType == typeof(IList<GameObject>) && outputType == typeof(IList<GameObject>)

inherited

Returns true if this Action is available trough the Toolbox.

outputType

override Type outputType => typeof(Output)

Output type.

Specifies what kind of data the actions outputs. (Eg: IList<GameObject>, IList<Material>, Mesh, string[], ...)

Property Documentation

displayNameRuleEngine

string displayNameRuleEngine

getinherited

Returns the display name (without menu path).

displayNameToolbox

string displayNameToolbox

getinherited

Returns the display name (without menu path)

fieldInstances

FieldInstance [] fieldInstances

getinherited

Eventual fields.

Fields can be added for an Action implementation thanks to the attribute PiXYZ.Plugin.Unity.Tools.UserParameter.

helpersMethods

MethodInfo [] helpersMethods

getinherited

Eventual helper methods.

Helper methods can be added for an Action implementation thanks to the attribute PiXYZ.Plugin.Unity.Tools.HelperMethod.

id

abstract int id

getinherited

The id of the Acton implementation.

This id should be unique and is readonly (written in code). The id is the actual reference if the Action is serialized (in a set of RuleEngine Rules for example), hence, this shouldn't be changed if possible when someone uses it.

menuPathRuleEngine

virtual string menuPathRuleEngine

getinherited

The menu path for the RuleEngine.

Use forward slashes for submenus (ex:"Custom/My Custom Action") If left null or empty, this Action won't be listed in the RuleEngine.

menuPathToolbox

virtual string menuPathToolbox

getinherited

The menu path for the Toolbox.

Use forward slashes for submenus (ex:"Custom/My Custom Action") If left null or empty, this Action won't be listed in the Toolbox.

tooltip

virtual string tooltip

getinherited

Returns the tooltip.
