Components

Components encapsulate functionality that can be added to or removed from entities. For example, a component can enable an entity to play sound, render a 3D model, or execute scripts.

You can add components to entities using the OasisW editor or the engine API. The properties that a component exposes are listed in the inspector when the entity is selected.

Component Types

The OasisW engine has various components defined:

Component	Description
Anim	Specifies state graphs and animations that can be executed in the entity hierarchy.
Audio Listener	Specifies the position of the listener for 3D audio playback.
Button	Creates user interface buttons.
Camera	Renders the scene from the location of the entity.
Collision	Assigns a collision volume to the entity.
Element	Defines user interface text or image elements.
Layout Child	Overrides default layout group properties for a single element.
Layout Group	Automatically sets the position and scale of child user interface elements.
Light	Attaches a dynamic light source to the entity.
Particle System	Attaches a particle system to the entity.
Rigid Body	Adds the entity to the scene's physics simulation.
Render	Renders graphics primitives or render assets.
Screen	Defines the area and rendering of the user interface.
Script	Allows the entity to run JavaScript fragments to implement custom behavior.
Scrollbar	Defines a scrolling control for a Scrollview component.
Scroll View	Defines a scrollable area in a user interface.
Sound	Plays audio assets.
Sprite	Renders 2D graphics at the location of the entity.

Deprecated Components

OasisW still provides some deprecated components. These components should not be used in new projects.

Component	Description
Animation	Specifies animations that can be executed on the model specified by the entity's model component.
Model	Renders a 3D model at the location of the entity.
