ComponentDataProxy in ConvertToEntity hierarchies

Hi all,

I have a GizmoSystem that will render useful information of all entities that are tagged with the Gizmo component when the GizmoSystem queries match.

It's very simple:

Code (CSharp):

1. using Unity.Entities;
2.  
3. namespace BUD.Components
4. {
5.     public struct Gizmo : IComponentData { }
6.  
7.     public class GizmoComponent : ComponentDataProxy<Gizmo> { };
8. }

ComponentDataProxy seems to depend on the GameObjectEntity component, which is slightly annoying here – whenever I add a GizmoComponent on a child entity in a ConvertToEntity hierarchy, I see the following warning pop up, rightly so:



It's pretty distracting. Could the dependency of ComponentDataProxy on GameObjectEntity be removed?

Thanks in advance and have a great day!

 

Your GizmoComponent should be MonoBehaviour and implementing IConvertGameObjectToEntity for working with ConvertToEntity.

Code (CSharp):

1. [DisallowMultipleComponent]
2. public class FogOfWarAffectorProxy : MonoBehaviour, IConvertGameObjectToEntity
3. {
4.     public int AffectRadius = 10;
5.    
6.     public void Convert(Entity entity, EntityManager dstManager, GameObjectConversionSystem conversionSystem)
7.     {
8.         dstManager.AddComponentData(entity, new FogOfWarAffector { AffectRadius = AffectRadius });
9.     }
10. }

 

Thanks, @eizenhorn!

I went with your solution:

Code (CSharp):

1. using Unity.Entities;
2. using UnityEngine;
3.  
4. namespace BUD.Components
5. {
6.     public struct Gizmo : IComponentData { }
7.  
8.     namespace Authoring
9.     {
10.         public class GizmoComponent : MonoBehaviour, IConvertGameObjectToEntity
11.         {
12.             public void Convert(Entity entity, EntityManager dstManager, GameObjectConversionSystem conversionSystem)
13.             {
14.                 dstManager.AddComponent(entity, typeof(Gizmo));
15.             }
16.         }
17.     }
18. }
19.
