test01
Simple example of a c++ component in Amazon Lumberyard. Clone this repo directly into your Lumberyard/Dev folder (Your folder structure should end up as lumberyard/dev/test01/...), and then make it the default project using the Project Configurator. The level for the sample is "level_test" Once everything is built, launch the game with /Lumberyard/Dev/Bin64vc140/test01Launcher.exe +map level_test
The TickTock Component lives in /Gem/Code/Source/Components.
The component has to be defined in the test01.waf_files file :
Every time you change the .waf_files, you have to re-generate the project solution.
"Components": [ "Source/Components/TickTockComponent.cpp", "Source/Components/TickTockComponent.h" ]
The component has to be instanced in the Source/test01Module.cpp file too:
```
....
#include "Components/TickTockComponent.h"
....
// Push results of [MyComponent]::CreateDescriptor() into m_descriptors here.
m_descriptors.insert(m_descriptors.end(), {
test01SystemComponent::CreateDescriptor(),
TickTockComponent::CreateDescriptor()
});
....
```
The new component will show up in the editor as "TickTockComponent" once you compile the project.
Here is what it looks like when the game is running in the editor: You can see the component entry on the side menu, and also the "tick" printing in the game console.
