Enemies/NPCs as Actors for Game Events

I figured out a temporary fix for this issue. Place an Event Interaction Component on each NPC/Enemy who can trigger effects. Then add an empty placeholder event. Mine is called "_blank".

Create a trigger object with a Box Collider. Instead of using an Event Interaction Component, apply this script instead:


using UnityEngine;
using ORKFramework;
using System.Collections;

public class TriggerEventInteraction : MonoBehaviour {

public ORKGameEvent EventToTrigger;
public string TagRequired;
public bool DeleteTrigger;


// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {

}

void OnTriggerEnter (Collider other) {
if (other.tag == TagRequired){

other.gameObject.GetComponent<ORKFramework.Behaviours.EventInteraction>().eventAsset = EventToTrigger;
other.gameObject.GetComponent<ORKFramework.Behaviours.EventInteraction>().LoadEvent();
other.gameObject.GetComponent<ORKFramework.Behaviours.EventInteraction>().CallStart();
if (DeleteTrigger)
{
Destroy(this.gameObject);
}
}

}


void OnTriggerStay (Collider other) {

}

void OnTriggerExit (Collider other) {

}

}


TagRequired - This is the tag you will use on the NPC/Enemy to prevent other moving objects (weapons, skeleton pieces, etc.) from triggering it. I use something like "NPC".

DeleteTrigger - Check this if you want the trigger to delete itself after being fired.

EventToTrigger - This is the event that you would normally place in the trigger's Event Interaction Component.

Not a perfect solution, but it should work well enough until the bug fix is in.
