Forums » Impact Engine » Entities in plugins?

I'm working on a plugin, but my plugin requires an entity. I'd like to keep the entity in the "plugins/ng" folder where I place my plugins. Anyone know how to tweak Weltmeister to also search through plugins to find entity classes in addition to the game entities?

Figured I'd ask before I deep dive through the code to try and hack the feature in myself. :)

It's not documented, but in 1.17 you can specify an array of paths Weltmeister searches through in your lib/weltmeister/config.js:

'entityFiles': [
	'lib/game/entities/*.js',
	'lib/plugins/ng/*.js',
],

Very nice! That's what I was going to implement myself but I'm glad to see it's already supported.

It's very convenient to organize entities into subfolders, but they don't show up in Weltmeister by default, which is pretty counter-intuitive. Shouldn't the default be something like /lib/game/entities/**/*.js?

@dominic I tried this, and it didn't work for me. Weltmeister wouldn't load after I edited the 'entityFiles' path to use an array. I too would like to organize my entities into subdirs.
