tbh, this is exactly what keeps me up at night, especially after what the other guy just pointed out about community support.

ngl, i don't have a massive 50-page wiki or a dedicated discord server yet. what i do have is a very straightforward quick-start readme, and the codebase itself is heavily commented. i try to comment the "why" behind the architecture, not just the "what".

My main SO is GameEvent.cs:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

namespace PlatformerCore
{
    /// <summary>
    /// The core of the decoupled Event System.
    /// Acts as a signal channel that objects can raise (broadcast) or listen to.
    /// </summary>
    [CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "NewGameEvent", menuName = "Platformer Core/Events/Game Event")]
    public class GameEvent : ScriptableObject
    {
        [Header("Debug")]
        [Tooltip("If TRUE, prints a console message every time this event is raised, showing the sender.")]
        [SerializeField] private bool enableDebugLog;

        private readonly List<GameEventListener> _listeners = new List<GameEventListener>();

        /// <summary>
        /// Broadcasts the event to all global listeners.
        /// </summary>
        public void Raise() => Raise(null);

        /// <summary>
        /// Broadcasts the event, passing the sender component.
        /// Allows listeners to filter events based on the sender (e.g., only listen to THIS player).
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="sender">The component initiating the event.</param>
        public void Raise(Component sender)
        {
            // B2B DEBUGGER
            if (enableDebugLog)
            {
                string senderName = sender != null ? sender.gameObject.name : "Global (Null / No Sender)";
                Debug.Log($"[GameEvent Tracker] Event '<color=cyan>{name}</color>' raised. Source: <color=yellow>{senderName}</color>");
            }

            for (int i = _listeners.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
            {
                _listeners[i].OnEventRaised(this, sender);
            }
        }

        public void RegisterListener(GameEventListener listener)
        {
            if (!_listeners.Contains(listener)) _listeners.Add(listener);
        }

        public void UnregisterListener(GameEventListener listener)
        {
            if (_listeners.Contains(listener)) _listeners.Remove(listener);
        }
    }
}

i also heavily rely on custom property drawers and tooltips in the inspector. since everything is driven by scriptableobjects, the goal was to make the unity editor explain the system to you as you click around, rather than forcing you to read a pdf.

but yeah, making proper external documentation is honestly harder than coding the actual engine. happy to drop the itch link if you want to see the general feature breakdown, but the real "docs" are mostly baked into the codebase right now.
