Method AddComponentData

AddComponentData<T>(EntityManager, Entity, T)

Adds a component to an entity and set the value of that component.

Declaration

public static void AddComponentData<T>(this EntityManager manager, Entity entity, T componentData)
    where T : class, IComponentData

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
EntityManager	manager
Entity	entity	The entity.
T	componentData	The data to set.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The type of component.

Remarks

Adding a component changes an entity's archetype and results in the entity being moved to a different chunk.

Important: This function creates a sync point, which means that the EntityManager waits for all currently running Jobs to complete before adding the component and no additional Jobs can start before the function is finished. A sync point can cause a drop in performance because the ECS framework may not be able to make use of the processing power of all available cores.
