CVR Variable Buffer

Stores a single float variable on a GameObject. Other components can interact with the buffer via method calls or through CVR Interactable triggers and actions. Interactables that reference the buffer are notified on write (subject to a 100ms throttle).

Fields

Section titled “Fields”
Default Value
Section titled “Default Value”

float. Initial value assigned to value on Start.

Value
Section titled “Value”

float. Current buffer value. Read at runtime by interactables and parameter streams.

API

Section titled “API”
  • SetValue(float valueToSet) — write the buffer and notify every linked interactable via OnVariableBufferChange. Notifications are rate-limited: after a notify pass is sent, further writes within the 100ms ResetSendUpdate tick reuse the suppressed state.
  • SuppressNextUpdate() — request that the next SetValue call skip the notify pass.
  • AddInteracteable(CVRInteractable interactable) — registers an interactable as a listener. Normally called by CVRInteractable during Start when any of its action or operation varBufferVal slots reference this buffer.

Update rate

Section titled “Update rate”

A scheduled job (BetterScheduleSystem) runs every 100ms to reset the internal _sendUpdate flag. This means:

  • Multiple SetValue calls within the same 100ms window only send one notification.
  • Use SuppressNextUpdate() just before a SetValue to avoid redundant fan-out.
