Activations in Unity

Have some progress to show tonight - I've got Activations working in Unity! I had to restructure my code a surprising amount to get this to work. In general, I had to adopt a more component-based approach. For example, instead of having specific Activation groups, I switched to an Activator object that takes a particular Activation (a prefab) as a parameter. The upshot to this is that it's making my structure more modular and visualization-friendly.

Also, I realized that you can't use the virtual and override keywords with Awake and Update - Unity uses their own method searching to call these methods, and if you mark a method as virtual or override, it will skip over it. Very frustrating. If you want to make your Awake or Update function semi-virtual, you can use the "new" keyword, but that method instance will only be called if the method is called from the correct type (not in an array of parent types, for example). Thought this insight might be helpful to anyone else doing Unity coding.

Anyway, here are the results. The cube is the Activator object, connected to two Concept nodes, and the purple Activations are shown after the Activator object was activated.
