Namespace: Unity.Entities

Syntax

public class EntityQueryDesc : IEquatable<EntityQueryDesc>

Remarks

Define an EntityQueryDesc object to describe complex queries. Inside a system, pass an EntityQueryDesc object to GetEntityQuery(EntityQueryDesc[]) to create the EntityQuery.

A query description combines the component types you specify in All, Any, and None sets according to the following rules:

• All - Includes archetypes that have every component in this set
• Any - Includes archetypes that have at least one component in this set
• None - Excludes archetypes that have any component in this set

For example, given entities with the following components:

• Player has components: Position, Rotation, Player
• Enemy1 has components: Position, Rotation, Melee
• Enemy2 has components: Position, Rotation, Ranger

The query description below matches all of the archetypes that: have any of [Melee or Ranger], AND have none of [Player], AND have all of [Position and Rotation]

       EntityQueryDesc description = new EntityQueryDesc
       {
           Any = new ComponentType[] { typeof(Melee), typeof(Ranger) },
           None = new ComponentType[] { typeof(Player) },
           All = new ComponentType[] { typeof(Position), typeof(Rotation) }
       };

In other words, the query created from this description selects the Enemy1 and Enemy2 entities, but not the Player entity.
