We never ended up using this in Mars Game, but it seems like it could be useful to someone at some point.
Basically, you can implement the
eventManagercomponent and flag your nodeisListeningandisBroadcastingand then set theeventMapto use it.Events from nodes that are flagged
isBroadcastingcause the driver to look for any nodes flaggedisListeningthat have the event name in question in theireventMap(an object with eventName : methodName pairs). If the event is found, then the associated method name is called on the listening node.This allows a node to listen for a specific event, regardless of it's source, without having to define a listener for each node.
I would have built in more control options, but as I said, we didn't end up using it.
