Arrays, List, ... on IComponentData

Is there any way of adding an Array, List, ... to an IComponentData?


If not , is there a sneaky way of avoiding that kind of problem or do I need to store NativeArrays in the system which operates on those values?

Example problem:
NavMeshAgents with C# Jobs
-> Path (is a NativeArray of PolygonIds) stored in IComponentData

 

As someone mentioned in another Thread you can have Arrays on ISharedComponentData

 

Yeah but that doesnt help me, because they are shared for any entities.
I do need a different array for each entity.

 

Storing any game state data in a system is ideological wrong. It violates the principles of data oriented design

 

But if I cant store it an IComponentData and a System where to store it then?
I guess I am a lil confused right now

 

As already suggested, ISharedComponentData will do the trick (i have not tried it though)
- It can hold different data for different entities
- The detailed documentation page provides some valuable info
- It could be explained better, I also find the name confusing (i.e. the name suggests shared data, but the actual data can be different, i.e. you can even filter by different values)

 

Lets say I put an NativeArray of an native array inside it which contains the paths of all entites processed by the system in it and I need to change the data on a regular basis doesnt that violate what is said in documentation?

Or does this mean that I have to prevent removing SharedComponents and adding different ones to the same entity.
