Storing array

[bayou-brogrammer]

Can't seem to figure out how to store an array of ui8. I have a component for FieldOfView which changes everytime the player moves. The visibleTiles just hold the idx [(y as usize * self.width as usize) + x as usize] to the relative tiles that are currently visible

export const FieldOfView = defineComponent(
  {
    radius: Types.ui8,
    isDirty: Types.ui8,
    visibleTiles: [Types.ui8],
  },
  5,
);

After this definition, I get unknown as the type

Im probably missing something really simple. Or if there is a better way to store visible tiles let me know

errr so I was dumb. I needed to provide a number for the typed array after looking to the source.

My question is what does that number actually do in terms of size? I printed the components to the console and it shows that visibileTiles is an array allocated to 1000 units.

Is that standard or are we able to control how much allocation to start with? FieldOfView is a very spare component so I doubt it needs 1000

You can pass an integer as a second argument into defineComponent to control how large the data arrays are.

The number you use with your typed array definition controls how large the array is for each entity. With a size of 1 it's basically pointless compared to a single ui8 value. If it's meant to index the tiles on your map, then it needs to be as big as the map's total number of tiles.

This is due to a resizing bug on the current release. it should be fixed on master, pending release soon:tm:
