Method Detail

provide

static EntityDefManager provide()

reset

@RestrictedMethod
void reset()

loadDefinition

@RestrictedMethod
void loadDefinition(String modName,
                    InputStream in)

loadDefinition

@RestrictedMethod
void loadDefinition(List<Entity> newEntityDef)

getEntities

List<Entity> getEntities()

getEntityDef

List<AbstractEntityDef> getEntityDef()

getEntityDef

<T extends AbstractEntityDef> T getEntityDef(int index)

This is the preferred method to get an entity definition by it's internal index. It offers the best performance. The index can be usually looked up from a live entity if it has already been added to entity manager (AbstractEntity#getEntityDef) or from #getEntityDefIndex. Example: final MeshBufferDef meshBufferDef = EntityDefManager.provide().getEntityDef(entity.getEntityDef());

getEntityDef

<T extends AbstractEntityDef> T getEntityDef(UUID entityDefUuid)

Get an entity definition by it's UUID. UUID is portable and can be persisted whereas index is only valid during a game session.

getEntityDef

<T extends AbstractEntityDef> T getEntityDef(String entityName)

Get an entity definition by it's name. Name is portable and can be easily read in your code but the lookup by name does not have the same performance as getting it by index.

getEntityDef

<T> List<T> getEntityDef(Class<T> clazz)

Returns a list of entity defs implementing or deriving from clazz

getEntityDefIndex

int getEntityDefIndex(UUID entityDefUuid)

Returns the entity def index by uuid

getEntityDefIndex

int getEntityDefIndex(AbstractEntityDef entityDef)

Returns the entity def index of a given instance of AbstractEntityDef

getEntityDefName

String getEntityDefName(UUID entityDefUuid)

Returns the name of an entity definition by UUID

getEntityDefName

String getEntityDefName(AbstractEntityDef entityDef)

Returns the name of an entity definition by a given instance of AbstractEntityDef

hasDefinition

boolean hasDefinition()

size

int size()
