MotionSystem

An Excalibur [[System]] that updates entities of certain types. Systems are scene specific

Excalibur Systems currently require at least 1 Component type to operated

Multiple types are declared as a type union For example:

class MySystem extends System<ComponentA | ComponentB> {
  public readonly types = ['a', 'b'] as const;
  public readonly systemType = SystemType.Update;
  public update(entities: Entity<ComponentA | ComponentB>) {
     ...
  }
}

publicphysics

physics: PhysicsWorld

publicpriority

priority: -5 = SystemPriority.Higher

System can execute in priority order, by default all systems are priority 0. Lower values indicated higher priority. For a system to execute before all other a lower priority value (-1 for example) must be set. For a system to execute after all other a higher priority value (10 for example) must be set.

query

query: Query<typeof TransformComponent | typeof MotionComponent>

publicsystemType

systemType: SystemType = SystemType.Update

Determine whether the system is called in the [[SystemType.Update]] or the [[SystemType.Draw]] phase. Update is first, then Draw.

publicworld

world: World
