Utilities

Loader utilities

To cut the process of getting the correct save-data from db and spawning it into the world as easy as possible two utility classes are provided. Check each inline documentation for how to use them.

EPF_PersistentWorldEntityLoader

World entity utility

EPF_PersistentScriptedStateLoader<T>

Scripted state utility - this one can not be used for EPF_PersistentScriptedStateProxys.

Persistence DB context and repository

Note Before trying to access the persistence DB directly, double-check that there is no other intended way to handle the task at hand. Normally all features can be designed through the use of the existing EPF_PersistenceComponent and EPF_PersistentScriptedState.

To use the same EDF_DbContext as the persistence system, any custom logic can access it through EPF_PersistenceManager.GetDbContext(). There are also utility classes to get an EL_DbRepository<T> that is already connected to the persistence DB context:

• EPF_PersistenceEntityHelper<TEntityType>
• EPF_PersistenceRepositoryHelper<TRepositoryType>
