@element

An element object is a handle to the primary data in the ECS system. It only contains the id of the entity as a field. The rest of the interface is defined trough vvars, which in turn access the storage on the app object.

Example code

var myElem: @element { id: 0 };
var sel: myElem.selectable;
print sel.typeId;

Virtual variables

  • selectable

    Type: vvar.@selectable

    The @selectable data object this element points to.

    var sel: theElem.selectable;

  • action

    Type: vvar.ptr(any)|null

    Returns the associated action pointer if it has one. Otherwise returns null.

    if theElem.action => ptr(any) {
	var callback: theElem.action => ptr(fn);
	callback();
}

Member variables

  • id

    Type: var.i64
