Public Member Functions
virtual	~IComponent ()
	Virtual destructor for the IComponent class. Ensures proper cleanup of derived class objects when deleted through a base class pointer.
virtual void	OnInit (AEntity *owner)=0
	Called when the component is initialized.
virtual void	OnUpdate (float dt)=0
	Called once per frame to update the component's state.
virtual void	OnRender (AShader *shader)=0
	Called to render the component.

Public Attributes
AEntity *	m_owner = nullptr
	Pointer to the entity that owns this component. This allows the component to access its parent entity and other components attached to it.

Detailed Description

The IComponent class is an abstract base class that defines the interface for all components in the ANVIL engine. Components are modular parts that can be attached to entities to give them specific functionality.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

~IComponent()

virtual IComponent::~IComponent ( )

inlinevirtual

Virtual destructor for the IComponent class. Ensures proper cleanup of derived class objects when deleted through a base class pointer.

Member Function Documentation

OnInit()

virtual void IComponent::OnInit ( AEntity * owner )

pure virtual

Called when the component is initialized.

Parameters

owner

A pointer to the AEntity that owns this component.

Implemented in MeshComponent, and RigidBodyComponent.

OnRender()

virtual void IComponent::OnRender ( AShader * shader )

pure virtual

Called to render the component.

Parameters

shader

The shader program to use for rendering.

Implemented in MeshComponent, and RigidBodyComponent.

OnUpdate()

virtual void IComponent::OnUpdate ( float dt )

pure virtual

Called once per frame to update the component's state.

Parameters

dt	The time elapsed since the last frame, in seconds.

Implemented in MeshComponent, and RigidBodyComponent.

Member Data Documentation

m_owner

AEntity* IComponent::m_owner = nullptr

Pointer to the entity that owns this component. This allows the component to access its parent entity and other components attached to it.
