How can I call flowscript from C#

[GavalakisKeymaster]

Hello again,

There are two ways to call a flowScript from code:

1) Custom Functions
– In flowScript, create a ‘Custom Function’ node and implement that function. Here is a [LINK] to the documentation about Custom Functions (by the end of the page).
– In code, you need to get a reference to the FlowScriptController that has the flowScript you want to call assigned and call ‘CallFunction’, something like this :

1 2 3

var fs = GetComponent<FlowScriptController>().CallFunction( "DoDamage", 10f );

2) Custom Events
– In flowScript, create a ‘Custom Event’ node.
– In code, you need to get a reference to the FlowScriptController again and use ‘SendEvent’, like this example:

1 2 3

var fs = GetComponent<FlowScriptController>().SendEvent("MyEvent");

Custom Events are generaly best suited for simpler things, while Custom Functions are best for more complicated things, since they can also return a value if you want to.

Please let me know if that helps, or if you need any more clarification.
Thank you.
