# Objective A common pitfall since 0.8 is the requirement on `ComputedVisibility` being present on all ancestors of an entity that itself has `ComputedVisibility`, without which, the entity becomes invisible. I myself hit the issue and got very confused, and saw a few people hit it as well, so it makes sense to provide a hint of what to do when such a situation is encountered. - Fixes #5849 - Closes #5616 - Closes #2277 - Closes #5081 ## Solution We now check that all entities with both a `Parent` and a `ComputedVisibility` component have parents that themselves have a `ComputedVisibility` component. Note that the warning is only printed once. We also add a similar warning to `GlobalTransform`. This only emits a warning. Because sometimes it could be an intended behavior. Alternatives: - Do nothing and keep repeating to newcomers how to avoid recurring pitfalls - Make the transform and visibility propagation tolerant to missing components (#5616) - Probably archetype invariants, though the current draft would not allow detecting that kind of errors --- ## Changelog - Add a warning when encountering dubious component hierarchy structure Co-authored-by: Nicola Papale <nicopap@users.noreply.github.com>

|
A runtime warning.
|
|
|
|
An [`Entity`] with a hierarchy-inherited component has a [`Parent`]
|
|
without the hierarchy-inherited component in question.
|
|
|
|
The hierarchy-inherited components defined in bevy include:
|
|
|
|
- [`ComputedVisibility`]
|
|
- [`GlobalTransform`]
|
|
|
|
Third party plugins may also define their own hierarchy components, so
|
|
read the warning message carefully and pay attention to the exact type
|
|
of the missing component.
|
|
|
|
To fix this warning, add the missing hierarchy component to all ancestors
|
|
of entities with the hierarchy component you wish to use.
|
|
|
|
The following code will cause a warning to be emitted:
|
|
|
|
```rust,no_run
|
|
use bevy::prelude::*;
|
|
|
|
// WARNING: this code is buggy
|
|
fn setup_cube(
|
|
mut commands: Commands,
|
|
mut meshes: ResMut<Assets<Mesh>>,
|
|
mut materials: ResMut<Assets<StandardMaterial>>,
|
|
) {
|
|
commands
|
|
.spawn_bundle(TransformBundle::default())
|
|
.with_children(|parent| {
|
|
// cube
|
|
parent.spawn_bundle(PbrBundle {
|
|
mesh: meshes.add(Mesh::from(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 })),
|
|
material: materials.add(Color::rgb(0.8, 0.7, 0.6).into()),
|
|
transform: Transform::from_xyz(0.0, 0.5, 0.0),
|
|
..default()
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// camera
|
|
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera3dBundle {
|
|
transform: Transform::from_xyz(-2.0, 2.5, 5.0).looking_at(Vec3::ZERO, Vec3::Y),
|
|
..default()
|
|
});
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
fn main() {
|
|
App::new()
|
|
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
|
|
.add_startup_system(setup_cube)
|
|
.run();
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This code **will not** show a cube on screen.
|
|
This is because the entity spawned with `commands.spawn_bundle(…)`
|
|
doesn't have a [`ComputedVisibility`] component.
|
|
Since the cube is spawned as a child of an entity without the
|
|
[`ComputedVisibility`] component, it will not be visible at all.
|
|
|
|
To fix this, you must use [`SpatialBundle`] over [`TransformBundle`],
|
|
as follows:
|
|
|
|
```rust,no_run
|
|
use bevy::prelude::*;
|
|
|
|
fn setup_cube(
|
|
mut commands: Commands,
|
|
mut meshes: ResMut<Assets<Mesh>>,
|
|
mut materials: ResMut<Assets<StandardMaterial>>,
|
|
) {
|
|
commands
|
|
// We use SpatialBundle instead of TransformBundle, it contains the
|
|
// ComputedVisibility component needed to display the cube,
|
|
// In addition to the Transform and GlobalTransform components.
|
|
.spawn_bundle(SpatialBundle::default())
|
|
.with_children(|parent| {
|
|
// cube
|
|
parent.spawn_bundle(PbrBundle {
|
|
mesh: meshes.add(Mesh::from(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 })),
|
|
material: materials.add(Color::rgb(0.8, 0.7, 0.6).into()),
|
|
transform: Transform::from_xyz(0.0, 0.5, 0.0),
|
|
..default()
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// camera
|
|
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera3dBundle {
|
|
transform: Transform::from_xyz(-2.0, 2.5, 5.0).looking_at(Vec3::ZERO, Vec3::Y),
|
|
..default()
|
|
});
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
fn main() {
|
|
App::new()
|
|
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
|
|
.add_startup_system(setup_cube)
|
|
.run();
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A similar problem occurs when the [`GlobalTransform`] component is missing.
|
|
However, when a parent [`GlobalTransform`] is missing,
|
|
it will simply prevent all transform propagation,
|
|
including when updating the [`Transform`] component of the child.
|
|
|
|
You will most likely encounter this warning when loading a scene
|
|
as a child of a pre-existing [`Entity`] that does not have the proper components.
