What is the EventDispatcher Plugin?

The EventDispatcher plugin is a Global event/dispatcher handler and manager. Create Global events that can be called from anywhere and bound to anything that has a WorldContext Object (Actors, UObjects, Widgets, etc etc).

Getting Started / How to use

Event Identifiers

First we must begin by creating an Event Identifier object, it’s really simple, just follow these steps:

• Right click in your Content Browser, select “Misc” and “Data Asset“

• Select the “EventIdentifer” type

• Name your event anything you want, in this example we’ll call it “MyEvent“

Simple Events

Registering the Event

Executing the Event

Every time you call “Invoke Simple Event” with the “MyEvent” identifier, the registered callback will execute and do whatever logic you implement there.

Payload Events

You can use custom Objects (a payload) to send any kind of data you want!
