Unit Manager

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Unit Manager is the global coordinator for all units in a GS_Play project. It maintains a registry of every active unit entity, provides the interface for spawning new units at runtime, tracks which player controllers are currently active, and participates in the GS_Core standby system so that all controlled characters pause cleanly during level transitions.

For architecture details, component properties, and extending the system in C++, see the Framework API reference.

Units

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A “unit” in GS_Play is any entity that can be possessed by a controller and driven through gameplay. The GS_UnitComponent is the marker that transforms an ordinary entity into a unit — it provides the possession interface, unique naming, standby awareness, and automatic registration with the Unit Manager.

Units are the characters, vehicles, creatures, or any other controllable actors in your game. They do not contain decision-making logic themselves — that comes from the controller that possesses them. A unit provides the body: movement, collision, and visuals. The controller provides the brain: player input or AI logic.
