Detailed Description

Provides services for a group of entities under the umbrella of a given context.

e.g. Edit-time entities and runtime entities would belong to separate contexts.

A context owns a root entity, which can be serialized in or out. Interfaces are provided for creating entities owned by the context.

Entity contexts are not required to use entities, but provide a package for managing independent prefab hierarchies (i.e. a level, a world, etc).

Member Function Documentation

const EntityContextId& AzFramework::EntityContext::GetContextId ( ) const
inline
Returns
the context's Id, which is used to listen on a given context's request or event bus.
bool AzFramework::EntityContext::IsOwnedByThisContext ( const AZ::EntityId &  entityId)
protected

Determine if the entity with the given ID is owned by this Entity Context

Parameters
entityIdAn entity ID to check
Returns
true if this context owns the entity with the given id.
virtual bool AzFramework::EntityContext::ValidateEntitiesAreValidForContext ( const EntityList &  entities)
protectedvirtual

Used to validate that the given list of entities are valid for this context For example they could be non-UI entities being instantiated in a UI context

Reimplemented in AzFramework::GameEntityContextComponent.
