Improve this Doc View Source

Gives methods for invoking delegates on the main unity thread, both synchronously and asynchronously. Can be used in many built-in framework types, for example System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.SynchronizingObject and System.Timers.Timer.SynchronizingObject to make their events fire on the main unity thread.

Declaration
public static ISynchronizeInvoke SynchronizingObject { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.ComponentModel.ISynchronizeInvoke

Methods

StartAsyncInvoke(Func<Action>)

Improve this Doc View Source

Queue the delegate to be invoked on a background thread. Use this to run slow tasks without affecting the game. NOTE: Most of Unity API can not be accessed while running on another thread!

Declaration
public void StartAsyncInvoke(Func<Action> action)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Func<System.Action> action

Task to be executed on another thread. Can optionally return an Action that will be executed on the main thread. You can use this action to return results of your work safely. Return null if this is not needed.

StartSyncInvoke(Action)

Improve this Doc View Source

Queue the delegate to be invoked on the main unity thread. Use to synchronize your threads.

Declaration
public void StartSyncInvoke(Action action)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Action action
