Method OnUpdate

OnUpdate(JobHandle)

Implement OnUpdate to perform the major work of this system.

Declaration

protected abstract JobHandle OnUpdate(JobHandle inputDeps)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
JobHandle	inputDeps	Existing dependencies for this system.

Returns

Type	Description
JobHandle	A Job handle that contains the dependencies of the Jobs in this system.

Remarks

The system invokes OnUpdate once per frame on the main thread when any of this system's EntityQueries match existing entities, or if the system has the AlwaysUpdate attribute.

To run a Job, create an instance of the Job struct, assign appropriate values to the struct fields and call one of the Job schedule functions. The system passes any current dependencies between Jobs -- which can include Jobs internal to this system, such as gathering entities or chunks, as well as Jobs external to this system, such as Jobs that write to the components read by this system -- in the inputDeps parameter. Your function must combine the input dependencies with any dependencies of the Jobs created in OnUpdate and return the combined object.
