Making Game Components

Building

Inside the GameComponents directory,

• add to the PRIVATE section:

${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/NewComponent.cpp

• and add to the PUBLIC section:

${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/NewComponent.hpp

Construction

In CoreComponentFactoryInitialization.cpp:

• include your new component header file
• add to ctor:

helper.CreateComponentFactory<NewComponent>();

In ScriptBind.cpp:

• include your new component header file
• add to InitializeYTETypes():

InitializeType<NewComponent>();

In your NewComponent:

• make a ctor of the form:

NewComponent(Composition *aOwner, Space *aSpace, RSValue *aProperties)

where:

• aOwner and aSpace are constructed by Component(aOwner, aSpace)

if you dont have editor properties

• and aProperties is unused by a void cast wrapper YTEUnusedArgument(aProperties)

if you do then YTEBind etc
