Class TypeRegistryEntry

Used to configure the serialization/deserialization code-generation for a specific type (primitive or struct) and combination of GhostFieldAttribute quantized, smooting and sub-type flags. The tuple [Type, Quantized, Smoothing, SubType] is mapped to a template file that contains the code to use to serialize/deserialize this specific type. It is possible so to register for each individual type multiple serialization rules, that can be selected using the GhostFieldAttribute. For example, the default float type (subtype 0) has 4 different serialization rules:

(float, unquantized, Clamp, 0)

(float, unquantized, InterpolateAndExtrapolate, 0)

(float, quantized, Clamp, 0)

(float, quantized, InterpolateAndExtrapolate)

Fields

Composite

State if the type, template pair is a composite type. Must be used only for structs that contains multiple fields of the same type (ex: float3). Whan a type is configured as composite, the Template model is used recursively on all the fields to generate the serialization code, without the need to crate a specific template for the struct itself.

Declaration

public bool Composite

Field Value

Type	Description
Boolean

Quantized

floating point number can be serialized in two ways:

- as a full 32bit raw value

- as a fixed-point number, with a given precision (see Quantization)

The use of quantization requires special handling by the code-generation and in particular the code in the template file must uses certain rules. You should set this flag to true if the type-template combination should be used for quantized types.

Declaration

public bool Quantized

Field Value

Type	Description
Boolean

Smoothing

The smoothing supported by this template and type combination.

Declaration

public SmoothingAction Smoothing

Field Value

Type	Description
SmoothingAction

SubType

The sub-type value for this specific type=template combination. This is used to map the [type, Quantized, Smooting, Suptype] tuple specified by the GhostFieldAttribute properties to the correct serializer type.

Declaration

public int SubType

Field Value

Type	Description
Int32

SupportCommand

State if the type, template pairs can be used when serializing commands.

Declaration

public bool SupportCommand

Field Value

Type	Description
Boolean

Template

Mandatory, the template file to use. Must be relative path to the Asset or Package folder.

Declaration

public string Template

Field Value

Type	Description
String

TemplateOverride

Optional, the template file to use to overrides/change the serializaton code present in the base Template file. Must be relative path to the Asset or Package folder.

Declaration

public string TemplateOverride

Field Value

Type	Description
String

Type

Mandatory, the qualified typename of the type (namespace + type name).

Declaration

public string Type

Field Value

Type	Description
String
