Script Extensions

Extension methods for ScriptComponent, in the Stride.CommunityToolkit.Engine namespace. Mostly shortcuts for things a script reaches for on almost every frame.

• DeltaTime() - Seconds since the last update, instead of writing Game.UpdateTime.Elapsed.TotalSeconds out in full.
• GetGCCamera() - Gets the camera bound to the graphics compositor slot named Main. Returns null when no slot matches.
• GetGCCamera(cameraName) - The same, for a camera slot you named yourself.
• GetFirstGCCamera() - Gets the first camera in the graphics compositor whatever its slot is called, which is usually what you want when there is only one.

Note

GC here is the graphics compositor, not the garbage collector. These look the camera up by its compositor slot rather than by searching the scene, so they find the camera that is actually being rendered from.
