Description

Resource part of a component. This represents the the static data that is deserialized from json. A run time counterpart is created after deserialization. Derived classes need to implement the DECLARE_COMPONENT macro, This macro tells the system what the run time counterpart of the resource is.

getDependentComponents()

virtual void getDependentComponents ( std::vector< rtti::TypeInfo > &  components ) const

virtual

Populates a list of components this component depends on. Every component dependency, when found, is initialized before this component. A dependency is NOT a hard requirement. Serialization will not fail if the dependent component isn't declared in JSON. It only means that when a component is declared under the same entity, and that component is tagged as a dependency of this component, it is initialized before this component. It is your responsibility to return false on initialization if the dependency is a hard requirement and can't be found. To ensure the right order of initialization based on a hard requirement it is advised to use a nap::ComponentPtr instead.

Parameters

components

list of component types this resource depends on.

Reimplemented in LightComponent, CameraController, PythonScriptComponent, RenderableMeshComponent, RotateComponent, Renderable3DTextComponent, RenderFrustumComponent, FirstPersonController, OrbitController, OrthoController, RenderGnomonComponent, RenderSkyBoxComponent, and CameraComponent.

getInstanceType()

virtual const rtti::TypeInfo getInstanceType ( ) const

pure virtual
