❔ Deleting something from a canvas.

How do I remove an entity from a canvas? I've figured out, that there is a "canvas.Children.Remove()" method, but the input it wants is confusing me. Anyone have an idea of how to proceed from here?

I might be really thick, but this is what you meant, right? I've not come up against the GetComponent<> before, so I'm not exactly sure how to use it.

I've tried that and it gave me the same error as in the first screenshot.

is this what yiu tried.

ClaraOP•12/11/22, 10:49 AM

Exactly.

then I need more context

how is that bullet added, what is that bullet made up of, etc.

ClaraOP•12/11/22, 11:02 AM

A Bullet is a DynamicObject, which is an Entity. When an Entity is created, it is added to the canvas as you can see in this screenshot. It is also an IRemovable, from which I am trying to implement the DeleteItem() method. Is that what you meant?

Might as well show you the full class:

Anton•12/11/22, 11:04 AM

there, you're adding the rectangle into the canvas children list

Anton•12/11/22, 11:04 AM

that's what you have to remove too

ClaraOP•12/11/22, 11:05 AM

Yep, noticed that as soon as I hit send.
