Enum EntityRemapUtility.HasRefResult

Specifies if a System.Type has any Entity or Unity.Entities.BlobAssetReferenceData references in its hierarchy.

Namespace: Unity.Entities

Syntax

public enum HasRefResult

Remarks

This enum is returned by HasEntityReferencesManaged(Type, out EntityRemapUtility.HasRefResult, out EntityRemapUtility.HasRefResult, Dictionary<Type, EntityRemapUtility.EntityBlobRefResult>, Int32) which recursively traverses a System.Type and its fields to find entity or blob asset references.

In some cases Unity cannot find all the Entity/Blob references within a type. For example, if the type is polymorphic and non-sealed, or if the type hierarchy is deep, making it too expensive to be worth inspecting it exhaustively. In this cases, the value MayHaveRef specifies that although no actual reference was found, the type cannot be treated as a type which definitely does not have any references during serialization.

Fields

Name	Description	Value
NoRef	The System.Type does not have any References within the entire hierarchy.	0
MayHaveRef	The System.Type might have References. Cases where we can't say with certainty if the type contains any references include if there is a polymorphic non-sealed type, or if the type hierarchy is deeper than the maximum specified recursion depth. This value can be handled while validating the data for serialization.	1
HasRef	The System.Type has a reference that was directly seen by the function.	2
