The EnabledToken property of a GameObject provides a CancellationToken that is automatically cancelled when the GameObject is either disabled or destroyed. This can be useful for managing asynchronous operations that should be terminated when the GameObject is no longer active or valid.
Use the EnabledToken to monitor the lifecycle of a GameObject and cancel tasks or operations when the GameObject is disabled or destroyed. This is particularly useful in scenarios where you have long-running tasks or operations that should not continue if the GameObject is no longer available.
// Example of using EnabledToken to cancel an asynchronous operation
public async Task PerformOperationAsync(GameObject gameObject)
{
try
{
// Pass the EnabledToken to the asynchronous operation
await SomeLongRunningOperationAsync(gameObject.EnabledToken);
}
catch (OperationCanceledException)
{
// Handle the cancellation
Console.WriteLine("Operation was cancelled because the GameObject was disabled or destroyed.");
}
}
private async Task SomeLongRunningOperationAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
// Simulate a long-running operation
await Task.Delay(5000, cancellationToken);
}
