Detailed Description

Base system class.

Systems are responsible for updating and processing entities with specific components. Each system typically focuses on a particular aspect of the game or simulation. Systems iterate over entities that have the necessary components and perform the required actions or calculations.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

~System()

virtual ~System ( )

protectedvirtualdefault

Destroys system instance.

Warning

Override it to destroy unmanaged resources.

Member Function Documentation

createComponent()

virtual ID< Component > createComponent ( ID< Entity > entity )

protectedvirtual

Creates a new system component instance for the entity.

You should use Manager to add components to the entity.

Note

Override it to define a custom component of the system.

Parameters

entity

target entity instance

Reimplemented in ComponentSystem< T, DestroyComponents >, ComponentSystem< DoNotDestroyComponent, false >, and ComponentSystem< DoNotDuplicateComponent, false >.

destroyComponent()

virtual void destroyComponent ( ID< Component > instance )

protectedvirtual

Destroys system component instance.

You should use Manager to remove components from the entity.

Note

Override it to define a custom component of the system.

Parameters

instance

target component instance

Reimplemented in ComponentSystem< T, DestroyComponents >, ComponentSystem< DoNotDestroyComponent, false >, and ComponentSystem< DoNotDuplicateComponent, false >.

copyComponent()

virtual void copyComponent ( View< Component > source, View< Component > destination )

protectedvirtual

Copies system component data from source to destination.

You should use Manager to copy component data of entities.

Note

Override it to define a custom component of the system.

Parameters

source	source component view (from)
destination	destination component view (to)

Reimplemented in ComponentSystem< T, DestroyComponents >, ComponentSystem< DoNotDestroyComponent, false >, and ComponentSystem< DoNotDuplicateComponent, false >.

getComponentName()

virtual const std::string & getComponentName ( ) const

virtual

Returns specific component name of the system.

Note

Override it to define a custom component of the system.

Reimplemented in ComponentSystem< T, DestroyComponents >, ComponentSystem< DoNotDestroyComponent, false >, ComponentSystem< DoNotDuplicateComponent, false >, DoNotDestroySystem, and DoNotDuplicateSystem.

getComponentType()

virtual std::type_index getComponentType ( ) const

virtual

Returns specific component typeid() of the system.

Note

Override it to define a custom component of the system.

Reimplemented in ComponentSystem< T, DestroyComponents >, ComponentSystem< DoNotDestroyComponent, false >, and ComponentSystem< DoNotDuplicateComponent, false >.

getComponent()

virtual View< Component > getComponent ( ID< Component > instance )

virtual

Returns specific system component View.

Note

Override it to define a custom component of the system.

Parameters

instance

target component instance

Reimplemented in ComponentSystem< T, DestroyComponents >, ComponentSystem< DoNotDestroyComponent, false >, and ComponentSystem< DoNotDuplicateComponent, false >.

disposeComponents()

virtual void disposeComponents ( )

virtual

Actually destroys system components.

Components are not destroyed immediately, only after the dispose call.

Reimplemented in ComponentSystem< T, DestroyComponents >, ComponentSystem< DoNotDestroyComponent, false >, and ComponentSystem< DoNotDuplicateComponent, false >.
