Omni Events

Description

This is an Event System that is implementing 'Observer Pattern' using ScriptableObject.

Ref : 3 cool ways to architect your game with Scriptable Objects

You can create event 'asset's in the project folder, and reference it from any GameObjects in any Scenes. This is especially useful if you want to connect UIs and GameObject instances throughout the scenes.

This pattern has the following advantages :

1. Modular No direct references are needed between GameObject instances. This makes GameObjects easy to be saved as prefabs.
2. Editable Change in one script doesn't affect others.
3. Debuggable Modularized scripts are easy to be debugged.

This is a Plus

Designer-friendly : Exposed in the inspector and no scripting is needed.
