ConstructModule

Tsvrc.Editor.ConstructModule is the generator behind the tutorial's onboarding step. Registering a TsvrcBehaviour on the Configure window's Constructs tab is what this module turns into a private field and a startup TsConstruct call. It's the module directly responsible for a registered behaviour's TsStart() override running at all. See Reach a scene object from anywhere, or guarantee it initializes for a task-oriented walkthrough.

Usage

Register a TsvrcBehaviour on the Configure window's Constructs tab. That's the whole configuration step: there's no name to set, since a construct never becomes a member on _ts.

public class HelloWorld : TsBehaviour
{
    protected override void TsStart()
    {
        LogInfo("HelloWorld constructed.");
    }
}

Registering HelloWorld here is what makes TsStart run at all. If another behaviour needs a direct reference to it afterward, wire it the ordinary Unity way (a [SerializeField] field assigned in the Inspector), or register the object as a Global instead if you also want it reachable as _ts.Name.

What it generates

Each construct entry becomes a private backing field ([HideInInspector][SerializeField] private {Type} _construct{Name};, {Name} derived from the entry's type and never user-facing) plus, inside _TsConstructStart(), a {FieldName}.TsConstruct(this); call. Nothing else: no public accessor, no member name to configure, no group-based namespacing. Registering a construct under a group in the Configure window's tree view is purely organizational.

Naming and requirements

A construct must be a component and must be a TsvrcBehaviour. EntryPolicy enforces both (RequireComponent/RequireTsvrcBehaviour), unlike Global, which accepts any scene object. Because the field is never exposed, its name is always derived from the component's type (disambiguated by ResolveEntries' own suffix dedup on a collision), never from an explicit entry name. There isn't one to set.

Construct vs. Global

Both modules can initialize a TsvrcBehaviour: GlobalModule also calls TsConstruct when a Global entry's type happens to be one. The difference is what each is actually for.

• Construct guarantees initialization, a defined build order and a TsStart call, and stops there. The reference stays private, so it never participates in _ts.Name collision detection with Global, Instance, or any other module.
• Global guarantees a name, _ts.Name, reachable from anywhere, for any scene object whether or not it's a TsvrcBehaviour. Construction only happens as a side effect, when the registered type needs it so the reference isn't left uninitialized.

Register something as a Construct when you only need it initialized. Register it as a Global when you need to reach it by name from other behaviours. Register it as both if you need both: the two no longer collide, since only Global ever claims a name.
