Displaying an End Game Message

The checkerboard with blue and red checkers, you can see a message on the screen mentioning that the winners are the reds.

To display a message when the game ends, you need to add a few lines of code to the game script that you are using. In this example, ShowGameOverMessageGame. Essentially, you add an event handler to the OnGameOver event that displays a message depending on the configuration.

Setting the show message game over script

Here is how the code looks:

if (showWinnerID)
{
    manager.OnGameOver += OnGameOver;
}
else
{
    if (customText == string.Empty)
    {
        customText = "Game Over!\nPress Space to restart";
    }

    manager.OnGameOver += () => ShowMessage(customText);
}

The field manager.OnGameOver is an event that fires when the game ends.

The two methods used are these:

private void OnGameOver()
{
    var winner = manager.Winners.First();

    ShowMessage($"The winner is {winner.PlayerID}. \nPress <SPACE> to play again.");
}

private void ShowMessage(string message)
{
    text.gameObject.SetActive(true);
    text.text = message;
}

The rules of this game are the same as the Victory Conditions examples.
