Blackboard Template Asset

A blackboard template asset is used to set up a configuration of a blackboard. Components, such as the local blackboard component or the global blackboard component can reference these templates to configure their blackboards with the same configuration. This is prefereable to setting up the configuration directly on the component.

Asset Properties

  • BaseTemplates: If any other templates are referenced here, their entries are first be added to the blackboard. This template may add further entries or overwrite the previously added ones.

  • Entries: When a template is used by a blackboard component these entries will be added to its blackboard. Some systems that use a blackboard may add their own entries, others expect an entry to already exist. For example the input component may write input state into a blackboard, but it will only do so for entries that already exist.
