ClearEventBuffers()

static void realvirtual.FastSignalManagerHelper.ClearEventBuffers ( this InterfaceBaseClass  interfaceBase, Queue< Dictionary< string, object > >  outputBuffer, Queue< Dictionary< string, object > >  inputBuffer, object  lockObject  )

CreateOrUpdateSignal() [1/2]

static Signal realvirtual.FastSignalManagerHelper.CreateOrUpdateSignal ( this InterfaceBaseClass  interfaceBase, string  signalName, SignalType  signalType, SignalDirection  direction, Dictionary< string, object >  metadata = null, bool  allowDirectionChange = true  )

static

Creates or updates a signal based on requirements - comprehensive signal management This method handles all signal creation and update scenarios:

• Creates new signals if they don't exist (checks by Name property, then GameObject name)
• Updates metadata for existing signals with same direction
• Replaces signal component when direction changes (keeping GameObject)
• Preserves GameObject hierarchy, transform, and NEVER changes GameObject name
• For existing signals: GameObject name remains unchanged even if import name differs

CreateOrUpdateSignal() [2/2]

static Signal realvirtual.FastSignalManagerHelper.CreateOrUpdateSignal ( this InterfaceBaseClass  interfaceBase, string  signalName, SignalType  signalType, SignalDirection  direction, Transform  parentTransform, Dictionary< string, object >  metadata = null, bool  allowDirectionChange = true  )

static

Creates or updates a signal with hierarchy support.

• Allows specifying a parent transform for deep hierarchy creation
• Creates intermediate folders if needed when hierarchyPath is provided
• For existing signals: Preserves location and GameObject name
