# This is a simple structure for our Lamp Post
# It shows how entities relate to each other

# 1. Define the main family (The Entity)
struct LampPost:
    # This is the parent object
    Pole: MeshComponent
    # This is the child object
    Light: MeshComponent

# 2. The Setup Function
# This runs when you place your prefab on the map
Initialize(LampPost) -> void:
    # Set the pole to be a tall cylinder
    LampPost.Pole.Mesh = CylinderMesh
    # Set the light to be a small sphere
    LampPost.Light.Mesh = SphereMesh
    
    # Move the light on top of the pole
    # The light is a child, so it moves with the pole!
    LampPost.Light.Position = (0, 0, 5)
