You're Not Using C# Events To Their Full Potential
C# events in Unity are more powerful than you think. Most developers never go beyond subscribe and unsubscribe. In this video, we explore C# event accessors - a feature that lets you control exactly how subscription works. We'll cover logging subscribers, delivering the last value on subscribe, replacing the backing event with a custom collection, and building fault-tolerant invocation that survives individual exceptions.
