Method SetName

SetName(Entity, FixedString64Bytes)

Sets the name of an entity.

Declaration

[GenerateTestsForBurstCompatibility]
public void SetName(Entity entity, FixedString64Bytes name)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Entity	entity	The Entity object of the entity to name.
FixedString64Bytes	name	The name to assign. See remarks for caveats.

Remarks

Note that any `System.String` names will implicitly cast to FixedString64Bytes. This conversion will throw, rather than truncate, if over capacity (61 characters). Thus, ensure your names fit, or manually truncate them first (via CopyFromTruncated<T>(ref T, string)).

However, GameObjects converted to entities (via Baking) will have long names silently truncated.

For performance, entity names only exist when running in the Unity Editor.
