Type Parameters
Name Description
TAuthoringType

The type of the authoring component.
Remarks

Use the methods in Baker<TAuthoringType> to access any data outside of the authoring component. This ensures that the baking pipeline can keep track of any dependencies. This applies to GameObject, Component, prefabs, and assets.

For example you should use Baker<TAuthoringType> to query the authoring components instead of UnityEngine.GameObject.GetComponent``1.

Examples
     public class MyAuthoring : MonoBehaviour
     {
         public int Value;
     }

     public struct MyComponent : IComponentData
     {
         public int Value;
         public float3 Position;
     }

     public class MyBaker : Baker<MyAuthoring>
     {
         public override void Bake(MyAuthoring authoring)
         {
             // Accessing the transform using Baker function, not the GameObject one
             // so the this baker can keep track of the dependency
             var transform = GetComponent<Transform>();
             var entity = GetEntity(TransformUsageFlags.Dynamic);
             AddComponent(entity, new MyComponent
             {
                 Value = authoring.Value,
                 Position = transform.position
             } );
         }
     }
