# entIComponent ## Description Components in the game define the functionality of various objects and NPCs, such as physics, animations, interactions, and more. `IComponent` serves as a base class for all the specific components that can be attached to entities. * Modularity: components can be thought of as modules that add specific functionality to an entity. For example, you could add a physics component to give an object physical interactions with the environment or an AI component to allow an NPC to make decisions. * Reuse: since components are reusable, you can apply the same component to different entities. This makes it easier to add consistent behavior across various objects or NPCs. * Separation of Concerns: each component is responsible for handling a specific aspect of an entity. This makes it easier to focus on one feature at a time (such as movement, interaction, or combat behavior). ## Functions #### GetEntity() -> whandle:entEntity Retrieve entity owner. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
