The Issue: Receiving two type errors while trying to add objects of type “component” to a table. I don’t want these values to be converted in the first place, & I’m not sure why it’s attempting to do so.
World.lua (main):
--!strict
-- Global Types
local Types = require(script.Types)
-- Module Table
local World = {}
World.__index = World
--[[ World Constructor ]]
function World.new():Types.World
return setmetatable({
nextEntityId = 0;
entities = {}::{number};
components = {}::{Types.component};
systems = {}::{Types.system};
}, World)::Types.World
end
--[[ Entity Constructor ]]
function World.addEntity(self: Types.World)
-- Iterate
self.nextEntityId += 1
-- Instantiate Entity
table.insert(self.entities, self.nextEntityId)
-- Return Id
return self.nextEntityId
end
--[[ Add Component ]]
function World.addComponent(self: Types.World, entity: number, componentName: string, data: any)
self.components[componentName][entity] = data
end
Types.lua:
--!strict
-- Module Table
local Types = {}
--[[ World ]]
export type World = {
-- Properties
nextEntityId: number;
entities: {number};
components: {component};
systems: {system};
-- Methods
new: () -> (World);
addEntity: (self: World) -> (number);
addComponent: (self: World, entity: number, componentName: string, data: any) -> ();
}
--[[ Component ]]
export type component = {
[string]: {[number]: any}
}
--[[ System ]]
export type system = (world: World) -> ()
-- Module Table
return Types
I’m not sure if the problem is with the type definition itself, or just how I’m trying to insert it into the components table within the addComponent Method
