BlobAssetReferences inside of other BlobAssetReferences not properly maintained in SubScene conversi

I had some code that looked like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.     public struct Flocker : IComponentData
2.     {
3.         public BlobAssetReference<MovementDataBlob> MovementData;
4.     }

Inside MovementDataBlob this was defined:

Code (CSharp):

1. public struct MovementDataBlob
2. {
3.     public BlobAssetReference<AnimationCurveBlob> AccelerationCurve;
4.     public BlobAssetReference<AnimationCurveBlob> DecelerationCurve;
5. }

When everything was in a single scene everything worked fine, once I switched to SubScene conversion, the animation curves asset reference could not be loaded due to being undefined.

When I changed the Flocker struct to directly reference the animation curve references like so, everything works:

Code (CSharp):

1.     public struct Flocker : IComponentData
2.     {
3.         public BlobAssetReference<MovementDataBlob> MovementData;
4.         public BlobAssetReference<AnimationCurveBlob> AccelerationCurve;
5.         public BlobAssetReference<AnimationCurveBlob> DecelerationCurve;
6.     }

My guess is that there is an error in the ref-counting in SubScene's which does not maintain blob data for assets that are reference in assets that already are blob references.

 

Thanks for clarifying! It would be nice if there was an error that showed up. The disparity in functionality between runtime and edit time was always confusing.
