default

Default constructor.

Member Function Documentation

GetAsset()

template<typename T>

std::shared_ptr< T > Engine::AssetComponent::GetAsset ( ) const

inline

Returns the stored asset casted to the requested type.

Template Parameters

T	Requested asset type

Returns

Shared pointer to the asset if the cast succeeds

GetRawAsset()

std::shared_ptr< Asset > Engine::AssetComponent::GetRawAsset ( ) const

inline

Returns the raw asset pointer without casting.

Returns

Shared pointer to the base Asset

LoadAsset()

template<typename T>

void Engine::AssetComponent::LoadAsset ( const std::string & path )

inline

Loads an asset from the AssetManager and stores it in this component.

Template Parameters

T	Type of asset to load

Parameters

path	Path to the asset file

OnDestroy()

void Engine::AssetComponent::OnDestroy ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Called when the component is destroyed. Releases the reference to the asset.

Reimplemented from Engine::Component.

SetAsset()

void Engine::AssetComponent::SetAsset ( const std::shared_ptr< Asset > & asset )

inline

Manually assigns an already loaded asset to this component.

Parameters

asset

Shared pointer to the asset

Start()

void Engine::AssetComponent::Start ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Called when the component starts.

Reimplemented from Engine::Component.

Update()
