Visibilitycomponent #353

Closed menduz closed 2 years ago

menduz commented 2 years ago

As of ECS6, the visibility of a shape is a property of the GLTFShape or BoxShape components (to name a few).

In the ECS7, the visibility will be a separated component. There are two possibilities, use a tag component, a tag is a no-data component that only describes some aspects of the entity that it belongs to, for example a HiddenComponent() or DeadComponent(). Or a fully featured component VisibilityComponent(visible=true).

For the sake of simplicity and correctnes (to prevent default values and also to save bandwidth, my recommendation is to use a tag HiddenComponent() to make an entity and its children invisible.

The renderer should make invisible and non-interactable the entity with the component and all its descendants. It should also make the colliders not work.
