Method GetSharedComponentIndex
GetSharedComponentIndex<T>(SharedComponentTypeHandle<T>)
Gets the index into the array of unique values for the specified shared component.
Declaration
public int GetSharedComponentIndex<T>(SharedComponentTypeHandle<T> chunkSharedComponentData)
where T : struct, ISharedComponentDataParameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SharedComponentTypeHandle<T> | chunkSharedComponentData | An object containing type and job safety information. Create this object by calling GetSharedComponentTypeHandle<T>() immediately before scheduling a job. Pass the object to a job using a public field you define as part of the job struct. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Int32 | The index value, or -1 if the chunk does not contain a shared component of the specified type. |
Type Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| T | The data type of the shared component. |
Remarks
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 GetAllUniqueSharedComponentData<T>(List<T>). 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.
GetSharedComponentIndex(DynamicSharedComponentTypeHandle)
Gets the index into the array of unique values for the specified shared component.
Declaration
public int GetSharedComponentIndex(DynamicSharedComponentTypeHandle chunkSharedComponentData)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DynamicSharedComponentTypeHandle | chunkSharedComponentData | An object containing type and job safety information. Create this object by calling GetDynamicSharedComponentTypeHandle(ComponentType). |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Int32 | The index value, or -1 if the chunk does not contain a shared component of the specified type. |
