Method CopyFromComponentDataListAsync

CopyFromComponentDataListAsync<T>(NativeList<T>, out JobHandle)

Asynchronously copies the values of component type T in a NativeList into the entities matched by this query.

Declaration

[GenerateTestsForBurstCompatibility(GenericTypeArguments = new Type[] { typeof(BurstCompatibleComponentData) })]
public void CopyFromComponentDataListAsync<T>(NativeList<T> componentDataList, out JobHandle outJobHandle) where T : unmanaged, IComponentData

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
NativeList<T>	componentDataList	The values to copy into the matching entities.
JobHandle	outJobHandle	An out parameter assigned a handle that you can use as a dependency for a Job that should happen after this operation completes.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The component type.

Remarks

The job scheduled by this call will automatically use the component safety system to determine its input dependencies, to avoid the most common race conditions. If additional input dependencies are required beyond what the component safety system knows about, use CopyFromComponentDataListAsync<T>(NativeList<T>, JobHandle, out JobHandle).

Exceptions

Type	Condition
InvalidOperationException	Thrown if T is not part of the query.

CopyFromComponentDataListAsync<T>(NativeList<T>, JobHandle, out JobHandle)

Asynchronously copies the values of component type T in a NativeList into the entities matched by this query.

Declaration

[GenerateTestsForBurstCompatibility(GenericTypeArguments = new Type[] { typeof(BurstCompatibleComponentData) })]
public void CopyFromComponentDataListAsync<T>(NativeList<T> componentDataList, JobHandle additionalInputDep, out JobHandle outJobHandle) where T : unmanaged, IComponentData

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
NativeList<T>	componentDataList	The values to copy into the matching entities.
JobHandle	additionalInputDep	A job handle which the newly scheduled job will depend upon, in addition to the dependencies automatically determined by the component safety system.
JobHandle	outJobHandle	An out parameter assigned a handle that you can use as a dependency for a Job that should happen after this operation completes.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The component type.

Remarks

This method is generally used in conjunction with ToComponentDataListAsync<T>(AllocatorHandle, out JobHandle) to extract component values, pass them into some code that expects a flat array of values, and then scatter the updated values back to entities.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
InvalidOperationException	Thrown if T is not part of the query.
