What is this : Attribute signaling that ref returned values, of a type that has this attribute, cannot intersect with calls to methods that also have this attribute. Motivation(s): ref returns of values that are backed by native memory (unsafe), like IComponentData in ecs chunks, can have the referenced memory invalidated by certain methods. A way is needed to detect these situations a compilation time to prevent accessing invalidated references. Notes:

This attribute is used/feeds a Static Analyzer at compilation time.

UpdateAfterAttribute

Apply to a system to specify an update ordering constraint with another system in the same ComponentSystemGroup.

UpdateBeforeAttribute

Apply to a system to specify an update ordering constraint with another system in the same ComponentSystemGroup.

UpdateInGroupAttribute

The specified Type must be a ComponentSystemGroup. Updating in a group means this system will be automatically updated by the specified ComponentSystemGroup when the group is updated. The system may order itself relative to other systems in the group with UpdateBefore and UpdateAfter. This ordering takes effect when the system group is sorted.

If the optional OrderFirst parameter is set to true, this system will act as if it has an implicit [UpdateBefore] targeting all other systems in the group that do not have OrderFirst=true, but it may still order itself relative to other systems with OrderFirst=true.

If the optional OrderLast parameter is set to true, this system will act as if it has an implicit [UpdateAfter] targeting all other systems in the group that do not have OrderLast=true, but it may still order itself relative to other systems with OrderLast=true.

WorldSystemFilterAttribute

For internal use only.

WriteGroupAttribute

Can exclude components which are unknown at the time of creating the query that have been declared to write to the same component.

This allows for extending systems of components safely without editing the previously existing systems.

The goal is to have a way for systems that expect to transform data from one set of components (inputs) to another (output[s]) be able to declare that explicit transform, and they exclusively know about one set of inputs. If there are other inputs that want to write to the same output, the query shouldn't match because it's a nonsensical/unhandled setup. It's both a way to guard against nonsensical components (having two systems write to the same output value), and a way to "turn off" existing systems/queries by putting a component with the same write lock on an entity, letting another system handle it.

TransformAuthoring

TransformAuthoring is automatically created for every single entity created during baking. It gives access to the complete data the authoring Transform carries, the components exist only during baking. The TransformAuthoring component is stripped out automatically at runtime.

This can be used by systems that want to access the original authoring transform data in baking systems, without relying on the runtime transforms existing. In many cases we want to bake our authoring state into more optimal runtime representations. For example Unity.Physics bakes all colliders that may be children in the game object hierarchy into the entity containing the rigidbody. Hence the game objects with those colliders might not be required to be entities at runtime at all, but in baking systems we need to be able to access the TransformAuthoring data to correctly bake the colliders based on their positions relative to the parent rigidbody.

TypeIndex

Provides a unique id for component types as well as quick lookup information about the component type itself. This value is fully deterministic at runtime but should not be considered deterministic across builds and thus should not be serialized. For serialization, please prefer StableTypeHash instead.

Any type which implements this interface and also contains an Execute() method (with any number of parameters) will trigger source generation of a corresponding IJobChunk or IJobEntity type. The generated job in turn invokes the Execute() method on the IJobEntity type with the appropriate arguments.

IJobEntityChunkBeginEnd

When added to an implemented IJobEntity the two functions will be called at the beginning and end of each chunk iteration.

Interface used to indicate that a type can be used as type to construct a QueryEnumerable. This should only be used by types internal to the Entities package.

IRateManager

Interface to define custom behaviors for controlling when a ComponentSystemGroup should update, and what timestep should be visible to the systems in that group. This allows the implementation of Unity's traditional MonoBehaviour "FixedUpdate()" semantics within DOTS, as well as more advanced/flexible update schemes.

IRefCounted

An interface for managed and unmanaged shared component types to inherit from. Whenever a IRefCounted shared component is added to a world, its Retain() method will be invoked. Similarly, when removed from a world, its Release() method will be invoked. This interface can be used to safely manage the lifetime of a shared component whose instance data is shared between multiple worlds.
