ManagerAPI

ManagerAPI provides convenient access to various game managers through a unified interface.

Universal Method

GetManager<T>()

Universal method for getting any manager by field name.

public static T? GetManager<T>(string fieldName) where T : class

Parameters:

• fieldName - Field name of the manager in the Hub class
• T - Manager type

Example:

var customManager = ManagerAPI.GetManager<CustomManager>("custommgr");

Specific Manager Methods

GetDataManager()

Gets the game data manager.

public static DataManager? GetDataManager()

Usage: DataManager manages game data, configurations, and resources.

GetTimeUtil()

Gets the time utility.

public static TimeUtil? GetTimeUtil()

GetNavManager()

Gets the navigation manager.

public static NavManager? GetNavManager()

Usage: NavManager handles AI navigation and pathfinding.

GetDynamicDataManager()

Gets the dynamic data manager.

public static DynamicDataManager? GetDynamicDataManager()

GetUIManager()

Gets the user interface manager.

public static UIManager? GetUIManager()

Usage: UIManager controls all UI elements, windows, and HUD.

GetCameraManager()

Gets the camera manager.

public static CameraManager? GetCameraManager()

GetAudioManager()

Gets the audio manager.

public static AudioManager? GetAudioManager()

Usage: AudioManager handles sound effects, music, and audio environment.

GetInputManager()

Gets the input manager.

public static InputManager? GetInputManager()

GetNetworkManager()

Gets the network manager (V2).

public static NetworkManagerV2? GetNetworkManager()

Usage: NetworkManagerV2 manages network connections and synchronization.

GetAPIHandler()

Gets the API request handler.

public static APIRequestHandler? GetAPIHandler()

Availability Check Method

IsManagerAvailable<T>()

Checks if a manager is available.

public static bool IsManagerAvailable<T>(string fieldName) where T : class

Example:

if (ManagerAPI.IsManagerAvailable<UIManager>("uiman"))
{
    var uiManager = ManagerAPI.GetUIManager();
    // Safe to use UIManager
}

Practical Examples

Check All Managers Availability

void CheckAllManagers()
{
    MelonLogger.Msg("=== Manager Check ===");
    
    MelonLogger.Msg($"DataManager: {ManagerAPI.GetDataManager() != null}");
    MelonLogger.Msg($"TimeUtil: {ManagerAPI.GetTimeUtil() != null}");
    MelonLogger.Msg($"NavManager: {ManagerAPI.GetNavManager() != null}");
    MelonLogger.Msg($"DynamicDataManager: {ManagerAPI.GetDynamicDataManager() != null}");
    MelonLogger.Msg($"UIManager: {ManagerAPI.GetUIManager() != null}");
    MelonLogger.Msg($"CameraManager: {ManagerAPI.GetCameraManager() != null}");
    MelonLogger.Msg($"AudioManager: {ManagerAPI.GetAudioManager() != null}");
    MelonLogger.Msg($"InputManager: {ManagerAPI.GetInputManager() != null}");
    MelonLogger.Msg($"NetworkManager: {ManagerAPI.GetNetworkManager() != null}");
    MelonLogger.Msg($"APIHandler: {ManagerAPI.GetAPIHandler() != null}");
}

Safe Manager Usage

void SafeManagerUsage()
{
    // Always check for null
    var uiManager = ManagerAPI.GetUIManager();
    if (uiManager == null)
    {
        MelonLogger.Warning("UIManager not available");
        return;
    }

    // Now safe to use
    // uiManager.ShowMessage("Hello!");
}

Initialize Modular System

class ModSystem
{
    private DataManager? dataManager;
    private UIManager? uiManager;
    private AudioManager? audioManager;
    private NetworkManagerV2? networkManager;

    public bool Initialize()
    {
        MelonLogger.Msg("Initializing modular system...");

        dataManager = ManagerAPI.GetDataManager();
        uiManager = ManagerAPI.GetUIManager();
        audioManager = ManagerAPI.GetAudioManager();
        networkManager = ManagerAPI.GetNetworkManager();

        bool success = dataManager != null && 
                      uiManager != null && 
                      audioManager != null &&
                      networkManager != null;

        if (success)
        {
            MelonLogger.Msg("All managers loaded successfully!");
        }
        else
        {
            MelonLogger.Error("Failed to load some managers!");
        }

        return success;
    }
}

Manager Table

DynamicDataManager	Dynamic session data	GetDynamicDataManager()
UIManager	Interface management	GetUIManager()

Notes

Important

• All methods return null if the manager is not initialized
• Managers may be unavailable during early game loading stages
• Always check return values for null

Tips

• Cache frequently used managers
• Use IsManagerAvailable<T>() for preliminary checks
• Initialize your systems after verifying required managers are available
