Example

A developer uses a FloatVariable Scriptable Object to manage the player's health, enabling dynamic adjustments from the Unity editor and allowing other systems to subscribe to health changes without direct coupling.

Scenario

In a platformer game, the player's health needs to be decreased by traps and enemies. Instead of each trap and enemy having a direct reference to the player's health, they can simply call a method on the health variable Scriptable Object to adjust the value, which then automatically updates all subscribed systems, such as the UI health bar.

Example

Using a Scriptable Event to signal when the player collects a power-up, which can trigger multiple responses such as updating the UI, playing a sound, and changing the player's abilities.

Scenario

In an adventure game, collecting a speed boost power-up raises a Scriptable Event. The event is listened to by the player's movement system to increase speed, the audio manager to play a sound effect, and the UI system to show a notification, all without these systems needing to know about each other directly.

Example

Binding a Scriptable Variable to a UI element, such as binding the player's score to a TextMeshPro UI element, automatically updating the score display as the player earns points.

Scenario

In a scoring system for a sports game, the score is kept in a Scriptable Variable. A Binding component on the score UI element listens to changes in this variable, ensuring the displayed score always reflects the current score without manual UI updates.
