Question regarding Subsystems

Leith

Can someone please define for me exactly what a Subsystem is, and what requirements it has, other than deriving from Object, and being a Singleton? What makes Subsystems different to Components (which require a factory, and so are not singleton), and maybe show me an example use-case?
In my uni days, a subsystem was a container for components of the same type, and provided base logic to deal with components of that type. I am not exactly certain how subsystems work in Urho3D - is it just a replacement for static stuff? How does a subsystem object behave differently once registered, other than that we can query for its pointer? How is this different or more efficient than using static singletons?

I believe a subsystem is simply an Object registered as such, after which all Objects can reach it.

That was pretty much the answer that I had expected… thank you !! :slight_smile:
