Event Listeners
Last modified: 15 November 2024Event listeners are blueprints that get notified on various dungeon events. These are great for pre / post initializations
Creation
Create a Event listener blueprint by choosing DungeonEventListener as the base class
Override any of the function events to get notified. This function will be called by Dungeon Architect if your blueprint is registered with the Dungeon actor
Registration
You need to register this blueprint with the dungeon actor to get its event notifications
Select the Dungeon Actor and Navigate to the Advanced category in the Details tab and choose your blueprint class
Event Callbacks
Your blueprint can hook into various events of the dungeon build / destroy phase
On Pre Dungeon Build
This is called before the dungeon is built
On Dungeon Layout Built
This is called after the dungeon layout is built in memory. At this stage, no markers are emitted on the scene and nothing is spawned. However, the layout is available in the dungeon model if you'd like to view or modify it
On Markers Emitted
This event is called after all the markers are emitted in the scene. This event is also called right before the Theming engine is executed. So this event gives you an oppertunity to modify the low markers themselves
This could be useful for automatically clamping dungeon items on a landscape or to apply some filter on the markers like the one shown below (see quick start guide for an example)
On Post Dungeon Build
This is called after the dungeon is fully built
On Pre Dungeon Destroy
This is called right before the dungeon is about to be destroyed
On Dungeon Destroyed
This is called after the dungeon is fully destroyed
