Packed Entity Prototype. for using multi entity to do custom function

[kjrsysy]

TL;DR

for to make custom multi function entity, add prototype version of entity of stack-able and easy-to-link-script

What?

suggestion new prototype for multiple custom stack multiple entity with easy mange and script_able thing.

this is my idea with Rough text. (try to like api codex)

PackedEntitysPrototype

PackedEntitysPrototype 'PackedEntity'
dummy entity prototype for stack multiple entity, link, scripted and mange all.

• i'm not sure here

Properties

• main_entity _____ :: EntityPrototype ___ base entity that always display and interact with world or player
• sub_entities ____optional :: array[SubEntityPrototype] ___ sub entity. automatically place and remove with base entity
• storage _____ optional :: array[DataStorage] ___ managed data for entity
• function _____ optional :: array[ScriptTrigger] ___ add script with when it do it.
• component_____optional :: array[Component]___ add small function sub prototype hanging on main_entity.

-
Main_entity
core entity for this prototype.
-
Sub_entities
sub entity to do main is can't doing using only prototype(for more simple way than do all whit scipt). default is "hide"(exist, but no collider, and no display) , but can also other setting like "interact" (can interact like main entity), "packed" (it didn't interact other entity or world, just working with main entity and other sub entity) or else?
-
Storage
for data. can has type "single"(each entity has own data, to interact other, fist find entity itself.) "each" (as storage as single. but should can aslo call like data array) and "global"(any entity control data, all is change)
ex.for .
also each data storage can has some script. for define data structure(set storage what store.), init(set default value or do else), get or set(call whte other script try to interact storage), dump(do when data should remove.)
-
Function
connect script with entity. default events such as build, destroyed, damaged, tick. or using custom Trigger working with check script. can has multiple, and can set function is working on local(so entity didn't care of other entity) or global(all entity are effected)
-
Component
as work as sub entity but more small function. such as extra container slot, extra collider shape, add pipe connection, gui button, internal link to move item or power between main entity and sub entities. and some else (for now prototype has thing.)

Why?

For Now modder who want custom entity whit storage data and function, (at least i know) working like this.

1. find has function that moder want(similar) entity prototype and make base entity.
2. check every init and link (and storage) data alo if single entity is not enough, add hidden other entity or scripting
3. check data and using for each in list do each one by one.
4. also check if entity is missing than removing all linked entity script add manually

to script manually to manged sub-entity and data (check and find all init to make sub entity and storage data and destroy when main entity is removed) is really annoying work for modder and also can easily missed.
example. for now entity built event has three thing . on_built(do player manually), on_robot_built_entity(do build robot) on_space_platform_built_entity(on space platform.) space-age-dlc add third thing, so who can say will never add forth or more?

also for now way of script_tick_function_entity using data list and for a in l has two problem.
one. for a in l in long list is really worse for ups.(specially for large factory, ups really bottleneck.)
two. to make it use less memory, one way is increase tick_update_late, but it make mod make some buggy.
also about dummy entity, i saw bug of some sub entity is left so i should destroy it manually. (specifically, shot by cannon).
