MonoCached

Basics

Toolbox has its own update system, which wraps around Unity's basic update cycle and doing its own calculations.

MonoCached is the main component of this system. It is analogous to MonoBehaviour with some extra described below.

MonoCached has same update cycle related methods, but named differently. It is closely related to Updater, so you can precisely control lifetime and update behaviour of each object. Here are list of all "overriden" method recommended to use instead:

Basic	Analogue
Awake	Rise
Start	Ready
Update	Tick
FixedUpdate	FixedTick
LateUpdate	LateTick
OnDestroy	Destroyed
OnEnable	OnActivate
OnDisable	OnDeactivate

Also, MonoCached has methods and properties to control its lifecycle:

Method	Description
Pause	Pauses execution of Tick, FixedTick and LateTick methods
Resume	Resumes execution of Tick, FixedTick and LateTick methods
EnableGameObject	Enables gameObject on which component placed
DisableGameObject	Disables gameObject on which component placed
ProcessIfInactiveSelf	Bool property. If enabled, then Tick, FixedTick and LateTick methods will be executed even if gameObject inactive self
ProcessIfInactiveInHierarchy	Bool property. If enabled, then Tick, FixedTick and LateTick methods will be executed even if gameObject inactive in hierarchy
delta	Float property. Delta time, controlled by timescale, interval etc
fixedDelta	Float property. Fixed delta time, controlled by timescale, interval etc
Interval	Float property. Sets the interval between calling Tick, FixedTick and LateTick methods. Delta time then will be a sum of deltas between last call and next. If setted to 0, then it works usually

To use full power of 'Toolbox', just derive your class from MonoCached and override method you need.

Here's some example:

public class Rocket: MonoCached
{
    private float speed = 10;
    private SpriteRenderer spriteRenderer;

    protected override void Rise()
    {
        spriteRenderer = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
    }

    protected override void Tick()
    {
        //Here we reducing update calls if we don't see the object
        if(/*There are some logic to check if object is out of screen*/)
        {
            Interval = 1;
        }
        else
        {
            Interval = 0;
        }

        //Delta time will be a sum of deltas on every frame between last call of this method and current
        transform.position = transform.forward * speed * delta;
    }
}

Because of MonoCached derived from MonoBehaviour you can still use Awake, Update, etc...
