Struct apecs::Entities

pub struct Entities { /* private fields */ }

Creates and destroys entities.

Exists in World by default.

Implementations

impl Entities

pub fn new(lazy_op_sender: Sender<LazyOp>) -> Self

pub fn alive_len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of entities that are currently alive.

pub fn create_many(&mut self, how_many: usize) -> Vec<usize>

Create many entities at once, returning a list of their ids.

An Entity can be made from its usize id using Entities::hydrate.

pub fn create(&mut self) -> Entity

Create one entity and return it.

pub fn destroy(&self, entity: Entity)

Lazily destroy an entity, recycling it at the end of this tick.

NOTE:

Destroyed entities will have their components removed automatically during upkeep, which happens each World::tick_lazy.

pub fn deleted_iter(&self) -> impl Iterator<Item = Entry<()>> + '_

Produce an iterator of deleted entities as entries.

This iterator should be filtered at the callsite for the latest changed entries since a stored iteration timestamp.

pub fn deleted_iter_of<T: 'static>(
    &self
) -> impl Iterator<Item = Entry<()>> + '_

Produce an iterator of deleted entities that had a component of the given type, as entries.

This iterator should be filtered at the callsite for the latest changed entries since a stored iteration timestamp.

pub fn hydrate(&self, entity_id: usize) -> Option<Entity>

Hydrate an Entity from an id.

pub fn insert_bundle<B: IsBundle + Send + Sync + 'static>(
    &self,
    entity_id: usize,
    bundle: B
)

Hydrate the entity with the given id and then lazily add the given bundle to the entity.

This is a noop if the entity does not exist.

pub fn insert_component<T: Send + Sync + 'static>(
    &self,
    entity_id: usize,
    component: T
)

Hydrate the entity with the given id and then lazily add the given component.

This is a noop if the entity does not exist.

pub fn remove_component<T: Send + Sync + 'static>(&self, entity_id: usize)

Hydrate the entity with the given id and then lazily remove the component of the given type.

This is a noop if the entity does not exist.

Trait Implementations

impl Default for Entities

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.
