Editor Request - Entity/Logic Storage

[Igor Q. 519]

Would it be possible to add an event listener that says

On [Object] added to Storage.

Anytime I add an object to the storage, I can cause a trigger to occur.

Thanks!

You can use the ON CREATE event for the storage.  I just tested with an Entity Storage, and it triggered once for every item I added it to.

(I set up an event listener to watch for animals being spawned, and add the storage to each one.  In On Create I had it output a simple message each time.  I dropped a cube into the scenario, and started adding animals.)

Right, but I want to be able to reference the object being added.

For example, every time an object that is added to that storage, I want to set the values (for that object) to have X variable, Y variable and Z variable.

It's similar to how we have player roles now with auto equipping items.

STORAGE OWNER.  It triggers every time something is added.  This means that specific entity or logic will be available to reference right from the creation of that instance of the Storage.  It's basically a template of itself, and the scripts run in each separate instance on whatever you attach them to, not in the original.

Hm, that would be a lot easier. 

Why don''t you use a label with your objects along with a Storage?

Then you can get the variables from Storage that are "connected" to the label inside of entity.

I'm pretty sure you know that, or I don't understand what are you really saying
