Method GetAllChunksAndMetaChunks
GetAllChunksAndMetaChunks(Allocator)
Gets all the chunks managed by this EntityManager, including the meta chunks (containing chunk components).
Declaration
public NativeArray<ArchetypeChunk> GetAllChunksAndMetaChunks(Allocator allocator = Allocator.TempJob)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Allocator | allocator | The type of allocation for creating the NativeArray to hold the ArchetypeChunk objects. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| NativeArray<ArchetypeChunk> | An array of ArchetypeChunk objects referring to all the chunks in the World. |
Remarks
Important: This method creates a sync point, which means that the EntityManager waits for all currently running jobs to complete before getting the chunk. No additional jobs can start before the method is finished. A sync point can cause a drop in performance because the ECS framework might not be able to use the processing power of all available cores.
