The OnComponentUpdate property is an event handler that is invoked during the update cycle of a Component. This property allows you to define custom behavior that should occur every frame while the component is active. It is a part of the Component class in the Sandbox framework, which is used to build game objects and their behaviors.
To use the OnComponentUpdate property, assign a method or lambda expression to it that contains the logic you want to execute every frame. This is typically used for updating component states, handling input, or performing continuous checks.
// Example of using OnComponentUpdate in a custom component
public class MyComponent : Component
{
public MyComponent()
{
// Assign a lambda to OnComponentUpdate
OnComponentUpdate = () =>
{
// Custom update logic here
if (GameObject.Active)
{
// Perform actions every frame
UpdatePosition();
}
};
}
private void UpdatePosition()
{
// Example logic to update the position of the GameObject
Transform.Position += new Vector3(0, 0, 1) * Time.Delta;
}
}
