# Objective
Currently, the observer API looks like this:
```rust
app.add_observer(|trigger: Trigger<Explode>| {
info!("Entity {} exploded!", trigger.target());
});
```
Future plans for observers also include "multi-event observers" with a
trigger that looks like this (see [Cart's
example](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14649#issuecomment-2960402508)):
```rust
trigger: Trigger<(
OnAdd<Pressed>,
OnRemove<Pressed>,
OnAdd<InteractionDisabled>,
OnRemove<InteractionDisabled>,
OnInsert<Hovered>,
)>,
```
In scenarios like this, there is a lot of repetition of `On`. These are
expected to be very high-traffic APIs especially in UI contexts, so
ergonomics and readability are critical.
By renaming `Trigger` to `On`, we can make these APIs read more cleanly
and get rid of the repetition:
```rust
app.add_observer(|trigger: On<Explode>| {
info!("Entity {} exploded!", trigger.target());
});
```
```rust
trigger: On<(
Add<Pressed>,
Remove<Pressed>,
Add<InteractionDisabled>,
Remove<InteractionDisabled>,
Insert<Hovered>,
)>,
```
Names like `On<Add<Pressed>>` emphasize the actual event listener nature
more than `Trigger<OnAdd<Pressed>>`, and look cleaner. This *also* frees
up the `Trigger` name if we want to use it for the observer event type,
splitting them out from buffered events (bikeshedding this is out of
scope for this PR though).
For prior art:
[`bevy_eventlistener`](https://github.com/aevyrie/bevy_eventlistener)
used
[`On`](https://docs.rs/bevy_eventlistener/latest/bevy_eventlistener/event_listener/struct.On.html)
for its event listener type. Though in our case, the observer is the
event listener, and `On` is just a type containing information about the
triggered event.
## Solution
Steal from `bevy_event_listener` by @aevyrie and use `On`.
- Rename `Trigger` to `On`
- Rename `OnAdd` to `Add`
- Rename `OnInsert` to `Insert`
- Rename `OnReplace` to `Replace`
- Rename `OnRemove` to `Remove`
- Rename `OnDespawn` to `Despawn`
## Discussion
### Naming Conflicts??
Using a name like `Add` might initially feel like a very bad idea, since
it risks conflict with `core::ops::Add`. However, I don't expect this to
be a big problem in practice.
- You rarely need to actually implement the `Add` trait, especially in
modules that would use the Bevy ECS.
- In the rare cases where you *do* get a conflict, it is very easy to
fix by just disambiguating, for example using `ops::Add`.
- The `Add` event is a struct while the `Add` trait is a trait (duh), so
the compiler error should be very obvious.
For the record, renaming `OnAdd` to `Add`, I got exactly *zero* errors
or conflicts within Bevy itself. But this is of course not entirely
representative of actual projects *using* Bevy.
You might then wonder, why not use `Added`? This would conflict with the
`Added` query filter, so it wouldn't work. Additionally, the current
naming convention for observer events does not use past tense.
### Documentation
This does make documentation slightly more awkward when referring to
`On` or its methods. Previous docs often referred to `Trigger::target`
or "sends a `Trigger`" (which is... a bit strange anyway), which would
now be `On::target` and "sends an observer `Event`".
You can see the diff in this PR to see some of the effects. I think it
should be fine though, we may just need to reword more documentation to
read better.
# Objective
`Entity::PLACEHOLDER` acts as a magic number that will *probably* never
really exist, but it certainly could. And, `Entity` has a niche, so the
only reason to use `PLACEHOLDER` is as an alternative to `MaybeUninit`
that trades safety risks for logic risks.
As a result, bevy has generally advised against using `PLACEHOLDER`, but
we still use if for a lot internally. This pr starts removing internal
uses of it, starting from observers.
## Solution
Change all trigger target related types from `Entity` to
`Option<Entity>`
Small migration guide to come.
## Testing
CI
## Future Work
This turned a lot of code from
```rust
trigger.target()
```
to
```rust
trigger.target().unwrap()
```
The extra panic is no worse than before; it's just earlier than
panicking after passing the placeholder to something else.
But this is kinda annoying.
I would like to add a `TriggerMode` or something to `Event` that would
restrict what kinds of targets can be used for that event. Many events
like `Removed` etc, are always triggered with a target. We can make
those have a way to assume Some, etc. But I wanted to save that for a
future pr.

# Objective
- Simplify `Camera` initialization
- allow effects to require HDR
## Solution
- Split out `Camera.hdr` into a marker `Hdr` component
## Testing
- ran `bloom_3d` example
---
## Showcase
```rs
// before
commands.spawn((
Camera3d
Camera {
hdr: true
..Default::default()
}
))
// after
commands.spawn((Camera3d, Hdr));
// other rendering components can require that the camera enables hdr!
// currently implemented for Bloom, AutoExposure, and Atmosphere.
#[require(Hdr)]
pub struct Bloom;
```
# Objective
- Alternative to and builds on top of #16284.
- Fixes#15849.
## Solution
- Rename component `StateScoped` to `DespawnOnExitState`.
- Rename system `clear_state_scoped_entities` to
`despawn_entities_on_exit_state`.
- Add `DespawnOnEnterState` and `despawn_entities_on_enter_state` which
is the `OnEnter` equivalent.
> [!NOTE]
> Compared to #16284, the main change is that I did the rename in such a
way as to keep the terms `OnExit` and `OnEnter` together. In my own
game, I was adding `VisibleOnEnterState` and `HiddenOnExitState` and
when naming those, I kept the `OnExit` and `OnEnter` together. When I
checked #16284 it stood out to me that the naming was a bit awkward.
Putting the `State` in the middle and breaking up `OnEnter` and `OnExit`
also breaks searching for those terms.
## Open questions
1. Should we split `enable_state_scoped_entities` into two functions,
one for the `OnEnter` and one for the `OnExit`? I personally have zero
need thus far for the `OnEnter` version, so I'd be interested in not
having this enabled unless I ask for it.
2. If yes to 1., should we follow my lead in my `Visibility` state
components (see below) and name these
`app.enable_despawn_entities_on_enter_state()` and
`app.enable_despawn_entities_on_exit_state()`, which IMO says what it
does on the tin?
## Testing
Ran all changed examples.
## Side note: `VisibleOnEnterState` and `HiddenOnExitState`
For reference to anyone else and to help with the open questions, I'm
including the code I wrote for controlling entity visibility when a
state is entered/exited.

# Objective
- #17581 broke gizmos
- Fixes#18325
## Solution
- Revert #17581
- Add gizmos to testbed
## Testing
- Run any example with gizmos, it renders correctly
# Objective
Fix gltf validation errors in `Fox.glb`.
Inspired by #8099, but that issue doesn't appear to describe a real bug
to fix, as far as I can tell.
## Solution
Use the latest version of the Fox from
[glTF-Sample-Assets](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Sample-Assets/blob/main/Models/Fox/glTF-Binary/Fox.glb).
## Testing
Dropped both versions in https://github.khronos.org/glTF-Validator/
`cargo run --example animated_mesh` seems to still look fine.
Before:
```
The asset contains errors.
"numErrors": 126,
"numWarnings": 4184,
```
After:
```
The asset is valid.
"numErrors": 0,
"numWarnings": 0,
```
## Discussion
The 3d testbed was panicking with
```
thread 'main' panicked at examples/testbed/3d.rs:288:60:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: QueryDoesNotMatch(35v1 with components Transform, GlobalTransform, Visibility, InheritedVisibility, ViewVisibility, ChildOf, Children, Name)
```
Which is bizarre. I think this might be related to #17720, or maybe the
structure of the gltf changed.
I fixed it by using updating the testbed to use a more robust method of
finding the correct entity as is done in `animated_mesh`.
# Objective
- Improve CI when testing rendering by having smarter testbeds
## Solution
- CI testing no longer need a config file and will run with a default
config if not found
- It is now possible to give a name to a screenshot instead of just a
frame number
- 2d and 3d testbeds are now driven from code
- a new system in testbed will watch for state changed
- on state changed, trigger a screenshot 100 frames after (so that the
scene has time to render) with the name of the scene
- when the screenshot is taken (`Captured` component has been removed),
switch scene
- this means less setup to run a testbed (no need for a config file),
screenshots have better names, and it's faster as we don't wait 100
frames for the screenshot to be taken
## Testing
- `cargo run --example testbed_2d --features bevy_ci_testing`
# Objective
Rust-Analyzer was reporting problems with dead code in the 3d testbed
scene.
## Solution
These scenes don't work in CI on the Windows runner (because they're too
weak).
Mirror the feature flags from above onto the offending modules.
## Testing
RA no longer complains.
# Objective
- A `Trigger` has multiple associated `Entity`s - the entity observing
the event, and the entity that was targeted by the event.
- The field `entity: Entity` encodes no semantic information about what
the entity is used for, you can already tell that it's an `Entity` by
the type signature!
## Solution
- Rename `trigger.entity()` to `trigger.target()`
---
## Changelog
- `Trigger`s are associated with multiple entities. `Trigger::entity()`
has been renamed to `Trigger::target()` to reflect the semantics of the
entity being returned.
## Migration Guide
- Rename `Trigger::entity()` to `Trigger::target()`.
- Rename `ObserverTrigger::entity` to `ObserverTrigger::target`
# Objective
- I got tired of calling `enable_state_scoped_entities`, and though it
would make more sense to define that at the place where the state is
defined
## Solution
- add a derive attribute `#[states(scoped_entities)]` when derive
`States` or `SubStates` that enables it automatically when adding the
state
## Testing
- Ran the examples using it, they still work
# Objective
- Checks screenshots on Windows
- Progress towards #15918
## Solution
- Checks screenshots on Windows
- Also disable the helmet gltf scene in windows ci as it doesn't work
# Objective
- Progress towards #15918
- Add tests for 3d
## Solution
- Add tests that cover lights, bloom, gltf and animation
- Removed examples `contributors` and `load_gltf` as they don't
contribute additional checks to CI
## Testing
- `CI_TESTING_CONFIG=.github/example-run/testbed_3d.ron cargo run
--example testbed_3d --features "bevy_ci_testing"`
