Component Methods: OnLoad, OnAwake, OnStart, OnUpdate, OnFixedUpdate Lifecycle

Component lifecycle methods you can override:

Called after deserialization for loading. Loading screen stays open until all OnLoad tasks complete.

CSHARP

protected override async Task OnLoad()
{
    LoadingScreen.Title = "Loading Something..";
    await Task.DelayRealtimeSeconds( 1.0f );
}

Called when a property changes in the editor and after deserialization. Good for enforcing property limits.

Called once when created, only if parent GameObject is enabled. Called after deserialization and loading.

Called when the component is enabled for the first time. Always called before the first OnFixedUpdate.

Called when the component is enabled.

Called every frame.

Called every frame right before rendering. Not called on dedicated servers. Called after animation bones are calculated.

Called every fixed timestep. Use for player movement and physics — reduces traces per frame and avoids tiny move deltas on high-FPS clients.

Called when the component is disabled.

Called when the component is destroyed.
