How to get event callback?

In your class simply implement the interface IGenericCallback.cs, and write you functionality in the generated function. You can parse variable from object to any type. If you don't know about parsing data follow this link.

Code Example

In this example you can see i am handling the callback of integer, and parsing the variable.

using UnityEngine;

public class IntegerCallback : MonoBehaviour, IGenericCallback
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Event Callback
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="param">parameter fetch</param>
    public void OnEventRaisedCallback(params object[] param)
    {
        int value = (int) param[0];
        
        Debug.Log(value);
    }
}

How to Raise Event?

In your class implement the interface IRaise.cs, and give the type of event you are going to raise.

Code Example

In this example you can see i am raising the integer event. You can implement multiple interface for multiple type raising, or you can raise event manually.

using UnityEngine;

public class RaiseInteger : MonoBehaviour, IRaise<int>
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Event to raise
    /// </summary>
    public GameEvent _gameEvent;

    /// <summary>
    /// Raise integer event base on given value
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="value">value to pass</param>
    public void Raise(int value)
    {
        _gameEvent.Raise(value);
    }
}

How to fetch value from variable?

In your class create a variable type of Generic Reference, and pass the type of variable you want to create. You can see the variable in the inspector.

Code Example

using UnityEngine;

public class FetchInteger : MonoBehaviour
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Variable of integer type
    /// </summary>
    public GenericReference<int> _variable;

    /// <summary>
    /// Fetch Variable
    /// </summary>
    public void FetchVariable()
    {
        Debug.Log(_variable.Value);
    }
}
