Conflicting types: 'Entitas.Matcher' conflicts with the imported type 'Entitas.Matcher' about entitas HOT 5 CLOSED

Hey Stephen, I haven't setup up a project to prove and reproduce yet, but my first thought was, it doesn't work because you're not using the Entitas sources, but a dll. Try using the source files, that should fix the conflicting types

from entitas.

Doing as you suggested, there are no further conflicts, but then I got another problem.

protected override void Initialize()
{
    // TODO: Add initialization logic here

    var newEntity = entityPool.CreateEntity();
    newEntity.AddLight(3); // <-- Not working
    newEntity.AddSprite(2, 32, 32);  // <-- Not working
}

I no longer had the ability to call .Add($ComponentName) on the entity.

I played around with the namespaces a bit and realized that the Components cannot be declared within a namespace for this to work.

Originally

using Entitas;
namespace Components
{
    public class LightComponent : IComponent
    {
        public float Direction;
    }
}

Working

using Entitas;
public class LightComponent : IComponent
{
    public float Direction;
}

With this, I'm good to go!

Thanks again for the help. I'll keep you posted. 👍

There shouldn't be a problem with namespaces. In my tests it's working fine. If you still have problems, let me know. In the email there was this screenshot attached

i saw this

newEntity.addLight(3)

with lowercase a. Maybe that's the problem. It's AddLight with uppercase A

I hope that helps

I noticed that too after I posted, but after correcting those line it was still not working.

I'll give it a shot at a later time. Working on embedding all of this with C# scripting at the moment. :D

Pool, Entity and Matcher are partial classes. If you use the code generator, which is adding functionality to the Pool, Entity and Matcher, you have to use the Entitas sources and not the dll.
Partial classes are a purely language feature. When an assembly is compiled, the files are combined to create the type. It isn't possible to spread the files out into different assemblies.
