Does clicking in the Difficulty settings send some GameEvents ?

• Does checkboxes' clicking in the Difficulty settings send some GameEvents ?

I move some code (which doesn't need to be updated every tick) from LateUpdate() to the functions, called by events, and it almost works with OnGameSettingsApplied() and some flight-scene-events. 

But I noticed, what if you open difficulty settings while in the flight-scene, and then click some checkboxes, LateUpdate() on-the-fly take this new values, so I need GameEvents for this (something like OnGameSettingsChanges(), but it isn't there) or

• how to limit flight-scene to take only saved settings, after OnGameSettingsApplied event (I am using HighLogic.CurrentGame.Parameters.CustomParams<modSettings>().setting_name, and they are taken on-the-fly)

Can you explain what you actually want to do ? Because those settings are usually available without interacting with the UI system.

I had have:

Spoiler

public void LateUpdate()
{
	//....
	switch (mode) {
		case FlightGlobals.SpeedDisplayModes.Surface:
			//....
			display.textTitle.fontSize = line1_fontsize;
			display.textSpeed.fontSize = line2_fontsize;
			display.textSpeed.alignment = TMPro.TextAlignmentOptions.Midline;
			display.textSpeed.color = new Color(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1f);
			display.textTitle.color = new Color(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1f);
		case FlightGlobals.SpeedDisplayModes.Orbit:
			//....
			if (HighLogic.CurrentGame.Parameters.CustomParams<SpeedUnitAnnexSettings>().setting_orbit_time){
				//...
				display.textTitle.fontSize = lines_fontsize;
				display.textSpeed.fontSize = lines_fontsize;
				display.textSpeed.alignment = TMPro.TextAlignmentOptions.MidlineLeft;
			}
			else {
				//....
				display.textTitle.fontSize = line1_fontsize;
				display.textSpeed.fontSize = line2_fontsize;
				display.textSpeed.alignment = TMPro.TextAlignmentOptions.Midline;
				display.textSpeed.color = new Color(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1f);
				display.textTitle.color = new Color(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1f);
			}
	}

 

 

I moved this code (which doesn't need to be updated every tick) from LateUpdate() to the functions, called by events:

Spoiler

public void Start()
{
	GameEvents.OnGameSettingsApplied.Add(OnGameSettingsApplied);
	GameEvents.onSetSpeedMode.Add(onSetSpeedMode);
}

public void OnGameSettingsApplied() 
{
	SetDisplayToDefault();
}


public void onSetSpeedMode(FlightGlobals.SpeedDisplayModes mode)
{
	switch (mode)
	{
		case FlightGlobals.SpeedDisplayModes.Surface:
		case FlightGlobals.SpeedDisplayModes.Target:
		{
			SetDisplayToDefault();
			break;
		}
		case FlightGlobals.SpeedDisplayModes.Orbit:
		{
			if (HighLogic.CurrentGame.Parameters.CustomParams<SpeedUnitAnnexSettings>().setting_orbit_time)
				SetDisplayToOrbitTime();
			else
				SetDisplayToDefault(); 
			break;
		}
	}
}



private void SetDisplayToOrbitTime() 
{
	display.textTitle.fontSize = lines_fontsize;
	display.textSpeed.fontSize = lines_fontsize;
	display.textSpeed.alignment = TMPro.TextAlignmentOptions.MidlineLeft;
}

private void SetDisplayToDefault() 
{
	display.textTitle.fontSize = line1_fontsize;
	display.textSpeed.fontSize = line2_fontsize;
	display.textSpeed.alignment = TMPro.TextAlignmentOptions.Midline;
	display.textSpeed.color = new Color(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1f);
	display.textTitle.color = new Color(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1f);
}


public void LateUpdate()
{
	//....
	switch (mode) {
		case FlightGlobals.SpeedDisplayModes.Surface:
			//every tick calculation
		case FlightGlobals.SpeedDisplayModes.Orbit:
			//every tick calculation
			if (HighLogic.CurrentGame.Parameters.CustomParams<SpeedUnitAnnexSettings>().setting_orbit_time){
				//every tick calculation
			}
			else {
				//every tick calculation
			}
	}

 

But I noticed, what if you open difficulty settings while in the flight-scene, and then click setting_orbit_time checkbox (without saving, setting dialog are opened), then LateUpdate() in the background take this new values, but moved code isn't run so I need 

• GameEvents for this (something like OnGameSettingsChanges instead of OnGameSettingsApplied

or

• new setting-value should not be used in the LateUpdate() until user click save in the setting menu.

Ok, I can make 

SpeedUnitAnnexSettings local_settings;

public void Start()
{
	local_settings = HighLogic.CurrentGame.Parameters.CustomParams<SpeedUnitAnnexSettings>();
}

public void OnGameSettingsWritten()
{
     local_settings = HighLogic.CurrentGame.Parameters.CustomParams<SpeedUnitAnnexSettings>();
}

and then use local_settings field.
Should works.
