Types of script

There are three main types of script in Xenko: startup scripts, synchronous scripts, and asynchronous scripts.

When you write your script, inherit from the type of script with the behavior that best fits your needs.

Example:

Synchronous scripts are initialized, then updated every frame, and finally canceled (when the script is removed).

• The code performing the update goes in the method.
• The code performing the cancellation goes in the Cancel method.The following script performs updates every frame, no matter what:

• Asynchronous code goes in the function.

• Code performing the cancellation goes in the Cancel method.

• Public properties and fields
• Events
