Animation-only FBX files (no mesh, clips only) could not be used:
clips are keyed by node index into the parsed model's node table, so
there was no path to get them onto a different model's skeleton.
Add AssetManager::AttachAnimationClips: parses the container with the
CPU-only path (no GPU upload -- empty meshes cannot build a Model),
remaps each clip's channels to the target model's node indices by
bone name, and appends to its clip list. Channels whose bone name is
absent are skipped and counted; clips with zero matching channels are
dropped. Same-source attach is idempotent via a new
AnimationClip::sourcePath marker; name clashes get the file stem
prefixed.
Inspector Animation block gains an attach slot (UE Details semantics)
listing model-container files plus a bullet list of attached sources;
already-attached paths are replayed idempotently when the entity is
selected, so clips survive restarts. The paths persist in the scene
(Animation.Attached); the clips themselves stay runtime state.
Limitations (documented, by design): same-skeleton retargeting only
-- bone names must match between source and target (same DCC export
or Mixamo-style per-animation downloads); cross-skeleton retargeting
is out of scope.
The per-entity script list allowed picking the same script class
twice; the name-keyed runtime silently ignores duplicates, leaving
the extra rows dead weight with unusable enable bits. Enforce
DisallowMultipleComponent semantics: the dropdown of each row only
offers unattached names (own name kept for echo), "+ Add Script"
disables when every registered script is attached, and scene loading
dedupes as a safety net for hand-edited files.
ScriptComponent now holds a list of {name, active} items (Unity
semantics: one entity, many scripts, each with its own enable bit;
component-level active stays as the master switch). ScriptRuntime
reconciles instances by name per entity -- rename/remove destroys
only the affected instances, untouched ones keep ticking. Scenes
persist Script.Items; old single-script key still loads.
AssetBrowserPanel (lightweight Unity Project window): fixed roots
(assets/scenes) as tabs, recursive directory tree, file list with
type filter (models/textures/scenes) and name substring filter,
double-click preloads models/HDRs into the asset caches (path-
deduped). Scene files point to the File menu for now; drag & drop
is a later iteration. Docked with Stats by default in fresh layouts.
UE calls it Trigger (Overlap Events / Trigger preset) and Unity's UI
says "Is Trigger"; "sensor" is the physics-backend term (Jolt sensor,
Box2D sensor). Rename the component/record flag and the Inspector
label. Scene files now persist "IsTrigger" with backward-compatible
read of the old "IsSensor" key.
ScriptComponent stores only a script name string (POD, serializable);
instances are reconciled by ScriptRuntime each frame (PhysicsWorld
pattern): orphan/rename cleanup with OnDestroy, per-name instantiation
from a file-level self-registering registry (ENGINE_REGISTER_SCRIPT),
OnCreate on bind, OnUpdate after physics step on scaled dt. Engine
framerate loop only sees the base interface, so future Lua/C# behaviors
plug in as foreign ScriptBehavior implementations with zero engine
changes. Ships a Spinner sample script and Inspector script picker.
- JointComponent: type, target UUID, per-body local anchors, hinge axis
+ angle limits (data only, zero Jolt deps)
- PhysicsWorld::SyncConstraints: create/remove/rebuild on snapshot
change; body rebuild contagion via invalidated-bits list; target
resolved lazily by UUID each sync (no two-pass load needed)
- Jolt FixedConstraint/HingeConstraint/PointConstraint in
LocalToBodyCOM space (anchors minus shape COM); fixed frames lock
creation-time relative pose; hinge axis aligned across bodies
- Inspector: Joint section with target entity name dropdown
- Serialization: Joint map with UUID target, as<T> fallbacks
yaml-cpp master hardens zombie nodes: operator=, size(), Type() and
chained operator[] all throw InvalidNode instead of silently passing.
Storing per-component nodes via Node::operator= threw for every key
that was absent, so all 7 entities were skipped on load (0 loaded).
Reads are now level-by-level guarded (copy-init + IsDefined), which
only uses the safe surface (as<T>(fallback), begin(), IsDefined).
Save side switched from node-tree streaming to a manual Emitter:
vector/quat fields emit as single-line flow arrays ([0, 1.2, -6])
and model refs as inline maps, with 9-digit float precision for
lossless float32 round-trips.
Verified offline against the previously saved scene: 7/7 entities
parse with correct component counts; emitter output round-trips.
Engine-layer SceneSerializer (yaml-cpp submodule): entities/components
to versioned YAML, atomic clear-and-rebuild on load with per-entity
fault tolerance, missing-field defaults, unknown-component skip and
UUID dedup. Asset references are {Guid, Path} pairs resolved through
the new AssetManager GUID registry (assets/asset_registry.yaml) with
path fallback; procedural:// pseudo-paths rebuild from parameters.
Editor File menu gets Save/Load Scene modals; app re-resolves stale
entity handles via onSceneLoaded callback.
