Race condition in coil activation

[arthurkehrwald]

Problem

This script has no effect:

This script causes the ball to spawn:

Cause

What should happen is:

1. Player.Start is called by Unity
2. CoilPlayer.OnStart is called
3. CoilPlayer.HandleCoilEvent is added as a callback to IGameLogicEngine.OnCoilChanged
4. The table script starts running and the "Pulse Coil" node is executed
5. The ball spawns

The problem is that the table script starts running before Player.Start is called and nothing happens because CoilPlayer.HandleCoilEvent does not yet observe IGameLogicEngine.OnCoilChanged. This might be non-deterministic as well because the order of in which Start is called on MonoBehaviours is. Not sure how it is in Visual Scripting.

Hmm, interesting.. What I could think of would be to create a custom event that is triggered properly on start, when everything has been initialized?
