Resolved Namespace Naming Related Issue (Resolved)

I had a namespace like this

Code (CSharp):

1. namespace MyNameSpace.Entity{
2. //stuff
3. }

the ".Entity" cause a compilation error. Changing it to .EntityRealted fixed the issue.

Unity 2021.3.5f1 Personal
Entities 0.51.0-preview.32

 

If you have two namespaces defining Entity as such:

• MyNamespace.Entity
• TheirNamespace.Entity

And assuming the current class‘ namespace is the first one, then importing the other namespace like so:

• using TheirNamespace;

will lead to the issue you noticed. This is not a bug but a name clash. You can rename your namespace or prefix all other Entity uses with TheirNamespace.Entity or make a using alias like so:

• using TheirEntity = TheirNamespace.Entity;

 

The namespace Entity collides with the struct Entity. Rename the namespace to Entities or some other name.
It's not a Bug, it's how C# works.

 

First time I have run into this issue, thanks for clarifying.
