Property Item

Item[Entity]

Gets the IComponentData instance of type T for the specified entity.

Declaration

public T this[Entity entity] { get; set; }

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Entity	entity	The entity.

Property Value

Type	Description
T	An IComponentData type.

Remarks

You cannot use ComponentDataFromEntity to get zero-sized IComponentData. Use HasComponent(Entity) to check whether an entity has the zero-sized component instead.

Normally, you cannot write to components accessed using a ComponentDataFromEntity instance in a parallel Job. This restriction is in place because multiple threads could write to the same component, leading to a race condition and nondeterministic results. However, when you are certain that your algorithm cannot write to the same component from different threads, you can manually disable this safety check by putting the [NativeDisableParallelForRestrictions] attribute on the ComponentDataFromEntity field in the Job.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
ArgumentException	Thrown if T is zero-size.
