ComponentType

Package: com.hypixel.hytale.component

public class ComponentType<ECS_TYPE, T extends Component<ECS_TYPE>> implements Comparable<ComponentType<ECS_TYPE, ?>>, Query<ECS_TYPE>

A typed handle representing a registered component in the ECS. Obtained from IComponentRegistry.registerComponent(). ComponentType serves dual purpose: it is used to access components on entities, and it implements Query so it can be used directly as an archetype filter (matching any entity that has this component).

Type Parameters

• ECS_TYPE — the store type parameter
• T — the concrete component class

Fields

@Nonnull
public static final ComponentType[] EMPTY_ARRAY = new ComponentType[0];

Methods

@Nonnull
public ComponentRegistry<ECS_TYPE> getRegistry()

@Nonnull
public Class<? super T> getTypeClass()

Returns the registered class for this component type.

public int getIndex()

Returns the internal index used for array-based lookups in ArchetypeChunk.

public boolean test(@Nonnull Archetype<ECS_TYPE> archetype)

Query implementation: returns true if the archetype contains this component type.

public void validateRegistry(@Nonnull ComponentRegistry<ECS_TYPE> registry)

Throws IllegalArgumentException if this type belongs to a different registry.

public void validate()

Throws IllegalStateException if this type has been invalidated (unregistered).
