Start is called before first frame update.

Use this for initialization that depends on other components or objects being fully set up.

void update(uint16_t deltaTime)=0​

Update is called once per frame.

deltaTimeTime since last frame in milliseconds

void lateUpdate(uint16_t deltaTime)=0​

LateUpdate is called after all Update calls.

deltaTimeTime since last frame in milliseconds

void onEnable()=0​

Called when component is enabled.

void onDisable()=0​

Called when component is disabled.

Object * getOwner() const =0 const​

bool isEnabled() const =0 const​
