Hybrid ECS : Add component to existing entity

Hi there!

I'm have a IncreaseHPSystem working with hybrid entities.

When my stats increase, I want to increase my maximum HP.

I thought I could do like Pure ECS :

When my stats increase, add increaseHP component to my hybrid entities.

My IncreaseHPSystem will then pick it up because it need increaseHP component in the structure.

Then increase the MaxHP.

Well it doesn't work.

When I add a component to my game object, it doesn't add it to the entity during runtime.

Is there a way to do it?

Also, Should I just increase my HP via OOP and not use Hybrid ECS for that kind of thing? I love the ECS way of coding and try to use it for everything, but that might not be a good idea.

Thank you!

 

Why don't you make the IncreaseHP component a ComponentData instead and add that to the GameObjectEntity's entity? Move away from MonoBehaviours, hybrid makes that easy.

 

I still have issue knowing what Hybrid can do or not.

If I want to add a componentData to my game object entity, how would I proceed? Do I need to use the entity manager like with Pure?

 

God I should just read every post made by eizenhorn, that guy is a beast!

 

In Hybrid ECS you'd leverage PostUpdateCommands in your non-jobified OnUpdate:

Code (CSharp):

1. PostUpdateCommands.RemoveComponent<FooComponent>(entity);
