TODO: Use MonoBehaviour Event Messages Properly #8

Closed antfarmar closed 8 years ago

Be sure to use _Awake, Start, OnEnable, OnDisable,_ etc, logically and properly.

They should do concisely what they are meant for. Nothing more, nothing less.
Watch _OnEnable/OnDisable_ closely.
- Called frequently when pooling, and hot-reloading.
- Pooling: convenient for initializing when activating pooled objects
- initializing affects hot-reloading though
- Hot-Reloading: calls OnDisable then OnEnable.
- we might not want to re-initialize objects after a live recompile.
- affect object pooling workflow.
- Could use flags to distinguish states.

Mostly settled and stable. Events are used as follows:

Awake: Setting references. Start: Initializations using references acquired in Awake. OnEnable\OnDisable: Mainly focused on pooled objects.
