Provides logic and functionality to an Entity.

Inherited Members
Namespace: Evergine.Framework
Assembly: Evergine.Framework.dll
Syntax
public abstract class Component : PrefabInstanceObject, IDependencyObject
Remarks
A Component should 1) solve just a single problem (provide a position, render a mesh, hold a mesh, ...) and 2) depend on other Component instances to provide more complex behaviors.
For implementers
- The method
Initialize
allows you to perform custom logic when a Component is initialized. - The method
ResolveDependencies
is used to make sure the component has all the dependencies it needs to work.
