Field Detail

protected final int handle

The handle of this entity.

pool

protected final SerializedEntityPool pool

The pool this entity is registered at.

Constructor Detail

SerializedEntityBase

protected SerializedEntityBase(SerializedEntityPool pool)

Constructor. This also registers the entity with the pool. The reason that this happens here is that adding to the pool also defines the handle of the entity (handle counter in the pool). Thus we must be sure that obtaining the handle happens before any other (child) entities are added.

Method Detail

getHandle

public int getHandle()

Returns the handle for this entity.
