Struct ExclusiveEntityTransaction
Provides an interface to safely perform EntityManager operations from a single worker thread, by temporarily giving that thread exclusive access to a World's EntityManager.
Namespace: Unity.Entities
Assembly: Unity.Entities.dll
Syntax
public struct ExclusiveEntityTransactionRemarks
The intended use case for this feature is to let a worker thread stream Entity data into a staging World and perform any necessary post-processing structural changes, prior to moving the final data into the main simulation world using MoveEntitiesFrom(EntityManager). This lets the main thread continue to safely process the primary world while the new data is loading in, and not require a main-thread sync point until the new Entities are fully loaded and ready to be injected.
