| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| entity | The entity. |
bool False if the entity already had the chunk component. The chunk component's value is set regardless.
Adds a chunk component to the specified entity.
Adding a chunk component to an entity changes that entity's archetype and results in the entity being moved
to a different chunk, either one that already has an archetype containing the chunk component or a new
chunk.
A chunk component is common to all entities in a chunk. You can access a chunk IComponentData
instance through either the chunk itself or through an entity stored in that chunk. In either case, getting
or setting the component reads or writes the same data.
Important: This method creates a sync point, which means that the EntityManager waits for all
currently running jobs to complete before adding the component. 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.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| entityQuery | The EntityQuery identifying the chunks to modify. |
| componentData | The data to set. |
Adds a chunk component to each of the chunks identified by an EntityQuery and sets the component values.
This function finds all chunks whose archetype satisfies the EntityQuery and adds the specified
component to them.
