public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Update()

        }
    }
}

Methods

FinishSetup()

Perform final initialization tasks after the control hierarchy has been put into place.

Declaration
protected override void FinishSetup()
Overrides
Remarks

This method can be overridden to perform control- or device-specific setup work. The most common use case is for looking up child controls and storing them in local getters.

Examples
  
public class MyDevice : InputDevice
                        {
                            public ButtonControl button { get; private set; }
                            public AxisControl axis { get; private set; }

                            protected override void OnFinishSetup()
                            {
                                // Cache controls in getters.
                                button = GetChildControl("button");
                                axis = GetChildControl("axis");
                            }
                        }
