Calls the method named methodName
on every MonoBehaviour in this game object.
The receiving method can choose to ignore the argument by having zero arguments. if options is set to SendMessageOptions.RequireReceiver an error is printed when the message is not picked up by any component.
Note that messages will not be sent to inactive objects (ie, those that have been deactivated in the editor or with the GameObject.SetActive function).// Calls the function ApplyDamage with a value of 5 SendMessage ("ApplyDamage", 5.0); // Every script attached to the game object // that has a ApplyDamage function will be called. function ApplyDamage (damage : float) { print (damage); }
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { void ApplyDamage(float damage) { print(damage); } void Example() { SendMessage("ApplyDamage", 5.0F); } }
import UnityEngine import System.Collections public class ExampleClass(MonoBehaviour): def ApplyDamage(damage as float) as void: print(damage) def Example() as void: SendMessage('ApplyDamage', 5.0F)
