What it does

renderError

Shared "this render is broken" marker. visibleError(entityId) swaps an entity to the builtin ERROR text model + error material, so a failed render reads as an unmistakable 3D "ERROR" sign on screen instead of empty pixels — empty silently reads as "fine" and a broken object gets mistaken for working.

Every render component (built-in Model / SkinnedModel, or a user-authored one) calls this, so the error model is defined in one place: change it here and every render component updates.

module RenderError Shared "this render is broken" marker. `visibleError(entityId)` swaps an entity to the builtin ERROR text model + error material, so a failed render reads as an unmistakable 3D "ERROR" sign on screen instead of empty pixels — empty silently reads as "fine" and a broken object gets mistaken for working. Every render component (built-in Model / SkinnedModel, or a user-authored one) calls this, so the error model is defined in ONE place: change it here and every render component updates.

errorMeshHandle( ) → any

visibleError(entityId: string, reason: string?) → boolean

Swap `entityId` to the builtin ERROR marker so a broken render is unmistakable on screen. Un-skins the entity first (a bad skeleton can't collapse the marker), binds the ERROR mesh + error material via the public `ecs.*` API, and logs the reason at error level. Returns true if the marker was applied.

argtypedescription
entityIdstringThe entity whose renderable becomes the ERROR marker.
reasonstring?Short human string describing what failed (logged).

examples

renderError.visibleError(self.entityId, "mesh never became GPU-resident")

material · born here
❒asset
# Error Test Intentionally broken material used to exercise the renderer's error-handling and fallback paths. It targets `@builtin::shaders.error_shader` and carries a bright magenta base colour (`1.0, 0.0, 1.0`) — the classic "missing/failed" flag colour — with mid roughness (`0.5`), opaque render type, and back-face culling. ## Inputs - `colors.base_color` (`1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0`) — magenta error flag tint. - `floats.roughness` (`0.5`) — neutral surface roughness. - `render.type` (`opaque`) / `render.queue` (`2000`) — drawn in the standard opaque pass.

Usability ratings

Did the part work as advertised when consumers tried to drop it in. Separate from upvotes: those are taste; this is "did it function".
