MonoBehavior Messages

To help bridge the gap between EgoCS and Unity3D, EgoCS provides special Components that convert MonoBehaviour Messages (OnCollisionEnter, OnTriggerLeave, etc) to EgoCS events.

The EgoCS Component and generated EgoCS Event Object, have corresponding names to their MonoBehavior Message:

MonoBehavior Message	EgoCS Component	EgoCS Event
Onname	OnnameComponent	nameEvent

For example, you could attach an OnCollisionEnterComponent to a GameObject. When that GameObject starts colliding with something else, Unity3D will call the OnCollisionEnter() method in the OnCollisionEnterComponent. Then, in OnCollisionEnter(), a new CollisionEnterEvent is created and added to the EgoCS Event Queue.

MonoBehavior Message	EgoCS Component	EgoCS Event
OnCollisionEnter()	OnCollisionEnterComponent	CollisionEnterEvent
OnCollisionStay()	OnCollisionStayComponent	CollisionStayEvent
OnCollisionExit()	OnCollisionExitComponent	CollisionExitEvent
OnCollisionEnter2D()	OnCollisionEnter2DComponent	CollisionEnter2DEvent
OnCollisionStay2D()	OnCollisionStay2DComponent	CollisionStay2DEvent
OnCollisionExit2D()	OnCollisionExit2DComponent	CollisionExit2DEvent
OnMouseDown()	OnMouseDownComponent	MouseDownEvent
OnMouseDrag()	OnMouseDragComponent	MouseDragEvent
OnMouseEnter()	OnMouseEnterComponent	MouseEnterEvent
OnMouseExit()	OnMouseExitComponent	MouseExitEvent
OnMouseUp()	OnMouseUpComponent	MouseUpEvent
OnMouseUpAsButton()	OnMouseUpAsButtonComponent	MouseUpAsButtonEvent
OnTriggerStay()	OnTriggerStayComponent	TriggerStayEvent
OnTriggerExit()	OnTriggerExitComponent	TriggerExitEvent
OnTriggerEnter2D()	OnTriggerEnter2DComponent	TriggerEnter2DEvent
OnTriggerStay2D()	OnTriggerStay2DComponent	TriggerStay2DEvent
OnTriggerExit2D()	OnTriggerExit2DComponent	TriggerExit2DEvent

For now, EgoCS only converts the common collision MonoBehavior Messages to EgoEvents, but more will be added in the future.
