Overview

Components are used to parametrize the behaviors per entity. A simple example is GoForwardAuthoring, which adds the GoForwardComponent to an entity. This component's data can then be used inside the Execute method of GoForwardJob, where it's passed in as EntityInformation<GoForwardComponent>.

There are three interfaces [1], [2], [3], each matching one of the three kinds of behaviors. All these interfaces share the following properties:

  • Priority - (0, 255) what is the priority of this behavior.
  • DirectionStrength - (0, 1) how strongly (relative to other behaviors) should this behavior influence the entity's direction.
  • SpeedStrength - (0, 1) how strongly (relative to other behaviors) should this behavior influence the entity's speed.
  • IsActive - Should the behavior run.
  • Debug - Toggle to draw debug elements.
  • DebugScale - Scale for the debug elements.
  • Color - Color for the debug elements.
