I have built a custom package for Unity called world-renderer. This is the folder structure.
Inside "Runtime" is all my source code. To use it inside a Unity project, I add this line into the manifest.json of that project.
"com.tamagames.extinction.word-renderer": "file:C:/Users/dbugger/projects/unity/world-renderer",
This has worked great so far, but now I want to start using ECS inside my custom package. so I add its namespace to one of the files:
using Unity.Entities;
and now when I return to the Unity Editor, I see the following error message:
CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Entities' does not exist in the namespace 'Unity' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
I figured I needed to add the dependency to the package.json of my custom package, so I wrote updated it like this:
{
"name": "com.tamagames.extinction.word-renderer",
"version": "1.0.4",
"displayName": "Extinction - World renderer",
"description": "World renderer for Extinction",
"unity": "2019.1",
"unityRelease": "0b5",
"keywords": [],
"dependencies": {
"com.unity.entities": "0.1.1-preview" // Dependency added
},
"author": {
"name": "Enrique Moreno Tent",
"email": "[email protected]",
"url": "https://enriquemorenotent.com"
}
}
But I still keep getting the same error.
What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE
I try adding the reference to the Assembly of my package, like this:
{
"name": "Unity.com.tamagames.extinction.world-renderer-ecs",
"optionalUnityReferences": ["com.unity.entities"],
"includePlatforms": [],
"excludePlatforms": [],
"allowUnsafeCode": false,
"overrideReferences": false,
"precompiledReferences": [],
"autoReferenced": true,
"defineConstraints": [],
"versionDefines": []
}
That did solve the problem with "Unity.Entities" not found, but now, in the Unity Project, the classes inside my source code cannot be found!
