## EventsBlackboard.cs

```csharp
using CrashKonijn.RabbitBlackboard.Contracts;

namespace CrashKonijn.BlackboardPro.Blackboards.Examples
{
    public partial class EventsBlackboard : BlackboardBehaviour
    {
        private int health = 100;

        private static bool _isAlive(Signals.Health health) => health.Value > 0;
    }
}

```

## EventsHealthBehaviour.cs

```csharp
using CrashKonijn.RabbitBlackboard.Contracts;
using UnityEngine;
using EventsBlackboard = CrashKonijn.BlackboardPro.Blackboards.Examples.EventsBlackboard;

namespace CrashKonijn.BlackboardPro.Examples._03_events
{
    [RequireComponent(typeof(EventsBlackboard))]
    public class EventsHealthBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
    {
        /* Simple hack to show a button in the editor */
        [Header("Removes 10 health.")]
        [Button(nameof(DoDamage))]
        public string doDamageButton;

        /* Simple hack to show a button in the editor */
        [Header("Adds 10 health")]
        [Button(nameof(Heal))]
        public string healButton;

        private EventsBlackboard blackboard;

        public EventsBlackboard Blackboard
        {
            get
            {
                if (this.blackboard == null)
                {
                    this.blackboard = this.GetComponent<EventsBlackboard>();
                }

                return this.blackboard;
            }
        }

        public void OnEnable()
        {
            this.Blackboard.IsAliveSignal.OnValueChanged.AddListener(this.OnIsAliveChanged);
        }

        public void OnDisable()
        {
            this.Blackboard.IsAliveSignal.OnValueChanged.RemoveListener(this.OnIsAliveChanged);
        }

        public void DoDamage()
        {
            this.Blackboard.Health -= 10;
        }

        public void Heal()
        {
            this.Blackboard.Health += 10;
        }

        // This is set through the editor. Click on the 'Events' button in the blackboard editor to view it.
        public void OnHealthChanged(int health)
        {
            Debug.Log($"Health changed: {health}");
        }

        // This event is set through code. It is only bound to the blackboard during awake, so please enter play mode to see it in action.
        // Even though the IsAlive signal is re-calculated any time the Health signal changes, it's change event is only triggered when the value actually changes.
        public void OnIsAliveChanged(bool isAlive)
        {
            Debug.Log($"IsAlive changed: {isAlive}");
        }
    }
}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://blackboard.crashkonijn.com/examples/03_events.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
