Context ​

All registries have a special entity, that uses a reserved id ecr.context, called the context entity.

Often you will need to store data about the world that isn't specific to an entity, data such as a round counter, in-game timer, etc.

The context entity can be used to store data like this; the world's context.

This entity does not exist by default, it is automatically created the first time Registry:context() is called, subsequent calls return the same entity.

local Round = ecr.component() :: number

registry:context():set(Round, 1)

-- or, if you prefer

registry:set(ecr.context, Round, 1)

This entity can still be destroyed (and later recreated), and is affected by Registry:clear().
