Inject on a class/monobehaviour with ITickable interface doesnt call its ticks

[kenofori]

Hi there,

I noticed that if i have a class which implements ITickable interface, then its tick method doesnt get called when i objectResolver.inject(myClassImplementingITackable)

How do i solve this case? Thanks

Please refer to the detailed information here.

@stenyin thanks for your reply, i actually did read it but couldnt understand due to being noob in it, all the injections and everything works on my myClassImplementingITickable after i call objectResolver.inject(myClassImplementingITickable) but not Tick

so what i'm missing here? And i cant declare it as entrypoint because these classes i create in IAsyncStartable.StartAsync()

Thanks for being patient with me

unless you are saying i can call builder.RegisterEntryPoint<FooController>(); anytime in future for my classes other than "real entry point"

Hello @kenofori, The objectResolver.Inject(myClassImplementingITackable) call only handles dependency injection into your instance - it won't automatically register the object as an ITickable. The Inject() method's sole responsibility is injecting dependencies, not registering objects with VContainer's systems.

Use EntryPointDispatcher.

public class MyGameLifetimeScope : LifetimeScope
{
    protected override void Configure(IContainerBuilder builder)
    {
        builder.RegisterEntryPoint<MyTickable>(); // Will be automatically registered as ITickable
    }
}

While not the good practice, here's one possible approach you can reference:

public class MyTickable: ITickable
{
    private readonly List<ITickable> _tickables = new();
    
    public void AddTickable(ITickable tickable)
    {
        _tickables.Add(tickable);
    }
    
    public void Tick()
    {
        foreach (var tickable in _tickables)
        {
            tickable.Tick();
        }
    }
}

After injecting your dependencies, you can manually add your tickable instance to the list:

Container.Resolve<MyTickable>().AddTickable(myClassImplementingITickable);
