Game.Prefabs.NotificationIconData

Assembly: Game (inferred from project structure)
Namespace: Game.Prefabs

Type: struct

Base: System.ValueType
Implements: Unity.Entities.IComponentData, Unity.Entities.IQueryTypeParameter, Colossal.Serialization.Entities.IEmptySerializable

Summary:
A small ECS component used by the game to hold an EntityArchetype reference for notification icon prefabs. As a value-type component it can be attached to entities so systems can read which archetype should be used when spawning or managing notification icons. The implemented interfaces indicate it is a standard ECS component, can be used as a query type parameter, and participates in the project's custom serialization conventions.

Fields

  • public Unity.Entities.EntityArchetype m_Archetype
    Holds an EntityArchetype instance that typically defines the set of components/prefab layout for a notification icon. Systems can read this archetype to create new icon entities or to compare expected prefab layouts.

Properties

  • (none)
    This struct exposes no properties — only a public field. Use the field directly when reading or writing component data.

Constructors

  • public NotificationIconData()
    Structs in C# have an implicit parameterless constructor that initializes fields to their default values. In this case m_Archetype will be default-initialized (an invalid/empty archetype) until explicitly assigned.

Methods

  • (none)
    This type declares no methods. Behavior is provided by systems that read or write this component on entities.

Usage Example

using Unity.Entities;

public class NotificationIconExample
{
    public void CreateNotificationIcon(EntityManager entityManager)
    {
        // Create an archetype for the icon entity (replace with real component types required by your icon)
        var iconArchetype = entityManager.CreateArchetype(typeof(SomeIconComponent), typeof(Transform));

        // Create an entity that will store the archetype reference
        var holderEntity = entityManager.CreateEntity();
        entityManager.AddComponentData(holderEntity, new Game.Prefabs.NotificationIconData
        {
            m_Archetype = iconArchetype
        });

        // Later, a system can read m_Archetype and use it to spawn icon entities:
        // var newIcon = entityManager.CreateEntity(iconArchetype);
    }
}

Notes: - Because this is a simple data container component, systems are expected to provide the logic for creating or managing notification icon entities using the stored archetype. - The presence of IEmptySerializable is part of the game's/custom serializer infrastructure — follow the project's serialization conventions when persisting or cloning entities with this component.
