MessageBox - Async Modal Dialogs

Built on UniTask for non-blocking async operations with automatic object pooling.

When to Use

• Confirmation dialogs (Yes/No, OK/Cancel)
• Information prompts (OK only)
• Awaiting user decisions in gameplay

API

Show Method

public static UniTask<bool> Show(
    string title,
    string content,
    string ok = "OK",
    string no = "Cancel"
)

Returns true for confirm, false for cancel.

Management

• MessageBox.CloseAll() - Dismiss all active dialogs (for scene transitions)
• MessageBox.Dispose() - Release all pooled instances (app shutdown)
• MessageBox.ActiveCount - Currently displayed dialogs
• MessageBox.PooledCount - Cached instances in pool

Patterns

Confirmation Dialog

bool confirmed = await MessageBox.Show(
    "Delete Item",
    "Are you sure you want to delete this item?",
    ok: "Delete",
    no: "Cancel"
);

if (confirmed)
{
    DeleteItem();
}

Custom Button Text

bool saved = await MessageBox.Show(
    "Save Changes",
    "Keep your changes?",
    ok: "Save",
    no: "Discard"
);

Single Button (Notification)

// Pass null or empty string to hide cancel button
await MessageBox.Show(
    "Success",
    "Operation completed!",
    ok: "OK",
    no: null
);

Clean Up Before Scene Change

MessageBox.CloseAll();
SceneManager.LoadScene("NextScene");

Common Mistakes

• Forgetting to await (dialog shows but code continues immediately)
• Not handling both true/false return values
• Not calling CloseAll() before scene transitions
