Is there an equivalent of TriggeredSpawners' 'Event to Activate: CustomEvent' for TriggeredDespawners?
I have a number of TriggeredSpawners that encompass different sectors of my map.
TriggerEnterEvent - starts a wave of enemies
I've set StopWhentriggerExit to true to stop propagation when the player moves on to another section of the map (and enters a different TriggeredSpanwer with new enemies)
I thought I would use the TriggerExitEvent to fire a CustomEvent in WaveSpawn Bonus&Events (with Use on FirstSpawn ticked) e.g. 'DespawnArea1Enemies'
Then on each Area1Enemy I wanted to place a TriggeredDespawner that would activate on this CustomEvent, and despawn. This is so enemies from a previous area are culled (despawned) after the player moves on to the next area to stop them taking up resources and keep firing etc.
But I can't see a way of doing this 'activation' by CustomEvent.
So instead I'm calling this in the next sector's TriggeredSpawner's WaveStart method (in a listener):
PoolBoss.DespawnAllOfPrefab(Area1EnemyPrefab.transform,Area1EnemyPrefab.name);
but it means I have to keep a reference of all the spawned enemy gameObjects across all areas. Feels clunky.
Hopefully that makes sense. Any help much appreciated
