Micro Tutorial: Mass Messaging with AoT Lists

 

 

 

    As is tradition with the Micros, let's jump right into it.

     

    This bit of script sends out the message "Trigger" to every object on the AoT List named "Trigger_List" which can all be seen on the left side of the top image. I've linked up "Trigger_List" to a For Each Loop block on the input side. So, this loop will fire once for every item on the AoT list. In this case, five times. 

    It will also cycle down the list during each loop. So, you can see I've linked the output "Item" from the For Each block to the target object on the Custom Event block. This will make sure the message is getting sent to a new item on the list every time.

 

     On the other end, I have a simple Custom Event Arguments block waiting on each target object on the AoT list to receive their orders. (If you need a refresher on Custom Events, check the micro-tutorial here)
