Is there a way to send a messages

is there an action that lets you say something like post message("do something") and have an event somewhere react when message "do something" is posted, and have that only execute once on the tick it was posted.

i have been using a work around using global variable and trigger once while true but i feel like there is a better way i just have not come across it yet? does some one have some insight?

You mean like calling a Function?

so yeah kinda like a function, the thing is function are not associated with an object.

im think more like a pub/sub type of thing so for example i have a few different sprites in the layout but they are not related and not in a family i want all these sprite to listen for an message that gets broadcast to all object and then each item behaves different when they receive the same message ,

the thing i'm trying to accomplish is basically like polymorphism
