Method ScheduleParallelByRef

ScheduleParallelByRef<T>(ref T, EntityQuery, JobHandle)

Adds an IJobChunk instance to the job scheduler queue for parallel execution.

Declaration

public static JobHandle ScheduleParallelByRef<T>(this ref T jobData, EntityQuery query, JobHandle dependsOn) where T : struct, IJobChunk

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
T	jobData	An IJobChunk instance. In this variant, the jobData is passed by reference, which may be necessary for unusually large job structs.
EntityQuery	query	The query selecting chunks with the necessary components.
JobHandle	dependsOn	The handle identifying already scheduled jobs that must complete before this job is executed. For example, a job that writes to a component cannot run in parallel with other jobs that read or write that component. Jobs that only read the same components can run in parallel. Most frequently, an appropriate value for this parameter is <xref href="Unity.Entities.SystemState.Dependency" data-throw-if-not-resolved="false"></xref> to ensure that jobs registered with the safety system are taken into account as input dependencies.

Returns

Type	Description
JobHandle	A handle that combines the current Job with previous dependencies identified by the dependsOn parameter.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The specific IJobChunk implementation type.
