Syntax
public abstract class Component : PrefabInstanceObject, IDependencyObjectRemarks
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
Initializeallows you to perform custom logic when a Component is initialized. - The method
ResolveDependenciesis used to ensure the component has all the dependencies it needs to work.
