Consider inlcuding the entity generation in ComponentEvent

Imberflur opened this issue · comments

Description

Including the entity generation instead of just the index within the component event used by FlaggedStorage.

Motivation

When an entity is deleted removal events are generated for its components in FlaggedStorages. If another entity is created at the same index there is no way to tell if the removed components are from the old entity or the new one. When using this for network syncing the means we end up sending useless component removed events (since we can't be sure they don't apply to the new entity).

Drawbacks

This would be a breaking change and would increase the size of ComponentEvent

Unresolved questions


I would be happy to implement this if approved.

This would be very useful.
