| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| chunkSharedComponentData | An object containing type and job safety information. To create this object, call ComponentSystemBase.GetSharedComponentTypeHandle. Pass the object to a job using a public field you define as part of the job struct. |
int The index value, or -1 if the chunk does not contain a shared component of the specified type.
Gets the index into the array of unique values for the specified shared component.
Because shared components can contain managed types, you can only access the value index of a shared component inside a job, not the value itself. The index value indexes the array returned by EntityManager.GetAllUniqueSharedComponents. If desired, you can create a native array that mirrors your unique value list, but which contains only unmanaged, blittable data and pass that into an IJobChunk job. The unique value list and a specific index is only valid until a structural change occurs.
