Method SetName

SetName(Entity, FixedString64Bytes)

Sets the name of an entity.

Declaration

public void SetName(Entity entity, FixedString64Bytes name)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Entity	entity	The Entity object of the entity to name.
FixedString64Bytes	name	The name to assign. See remarks for caveats.

Remarks

Note that any `System.String` names will implicitly cast to Unity.Collections.FixedString64Bytes. This conversion will throw, rather than truncate, if over capacity (61 characters). Thus, ensure your names fit, or manually truncate them first (via CopyFromTruncated<T>(ref T, string)).

However, GameObjects converted to entities (via Baking) will have long names silently truncated.

For performance, entity names only exist when running in the Unity Editor.
