UIInstance

The UIInstance class is a client-side class used to store information about a specific instance of UI. For example, your game might have a scoreboard, and you might want to display it using HTML, CSS, and JS. You'll have one UIInstance for your scoreboard so you can easily transfer data to and from it and manipulate it.

Note: only the UI instance on top will receive mouse clicks. To receive mouse clicks in other UI instances, consider restricting the size of the UI instance using the css argument of UI:Create.

To create a new UIInstance, use UI:Create

UIInstance:CallEvent(event_name, data)

• Calls an event on a specific UI instance.
• event_name (string): name of the event that you want to call
• data (table): table of data you want to send with the event

UIInstance:Subscribe(event_name, callback)

• Subscribes to an event called from the Javascript portion of the UI instance, meaning that when the JS code calls OOF.CallEvent(event_name, data), it will be received here.
• event_name (string): name of the event you want to subscribe to
• callback (function): function to be called when the event name is called from the UI
