Entitas 1.9.0

Added

• Optimize generated code #780
  • This increases entity and component creation performance
• Optimize Visual Debugging performance #799
  • This increases the performance especially when having thousands of entities
• Generate XML documentation #792
  • This will show documentation in the IDE
• Using latest bee

Changed

• Context ctor signature changed. Generate to fix compiler errors.
  If you don't use the Entitas.Roslyn plugins from the Unity Asset Store,
  you have to manually fix the affected generated context classes. E.g. Generated/Game/GameContext.cs,
  add () => new GameEntity() as a last argument

public sealed partial class GameContext : Entitas.Context<GameEntity> {

    public GameContext()
        : base(
            GameComponentsLookup.TotalComponents,
            0,
            new Entitas.ContextInfo(
                "Game",
                GameComponentsLookup.componentNames,
                GameComponentsLookup.componentTypes
            ),
            (entity) =>

#if (ENTITAS_FAST_AND_UNSAFE)
                new Entitas.UnsafeAERC(),
#else
                new Entitas.SafeAERC(entity),
#endif
            () => new GameEntity() // <---------- update here
        ) {
    }
}

• Release retained entities when ReactiveSystem.Execute() has an exception #812
  • This fixes spamming the Unity console with error messages

Visual Debugging

⚙️ StringTypeDrawer now uses EditorGUILayout.DelayedTextField

Code Generator

🆕 Added CleanupAttribute
⚠️ Renamed UniquePrefixAttribute to FlagPrefixAttribute

Asset Store Version

🆕 Cleanup Data Providers and Code Generators

Instead of manually writing custom systems to remove components or destroy
entities, you can now use the new [Cleanup] attribute to automatically
generate <Context>CleanupSystems for you.

E.g. adding the [Cleanup] attribute to a DestroyedComponent can replace
your custom DestroyEntitySystem.

[Cleanup(CleanupMode.DestroyEntity)]
public sealed class DestroyedComponent : IComponent {
}

There are currently two options:

• CleanupMode.DestroyEntity
• CleanupMode.RemoveComponent

CleanupMode.DestroyEntity will generate a system that destroys all
entities which have this component.

CleanupMode.RemoveComponent will generate a system that will remove
this component from all entities which have this component.

Entitas

🆕 Added JobSystem for multi threading as a proof of concept.

public sealed class RotateSystem : JobSystem<GameEntity> {

    public RotateSystem(GameContext context, int threads) :
        base(context.GetGroup(GameMatcher.AllOf(GameMatcher.Rotation, GameMatcher.RotationVector)), threads) {
    }

    protected override void Execute(GameEntity entity) {
        entity.rotation.value = entity.rotation.value * Quaternion.Euler(entity.rotationVector.value);
    }
}

Limitations:

• Don't use generated methods like Add() and Replace()
• Modify component values directly
  See #325 (comment)

This is not a general purpose solution for all problems. It can be used to solve certain performance intense areas in your game. It can be very useful if there's a very large number of entities that have to be processed, or if the data transformation involves heavy calulations.

⚠️ EventSystemsGenerator generates EventSystems per context now.
🛠 Removed dependency on Entitas.CodeGeneration.Plugins from Entitas.VisualDebugging.Unity.Editor #312

DesperateDevs

🆕 Added EnsureStandalonePreProcessor to prevent accidentally generating in Unity
