Question Can we access component data from an Entity prefab

An entity prefab is an entity that has the following components:

• A prefab tag: Identifies the entity as a prefab and excludes them from queries by default.
• A LinkedEntityGroup buffer: Stores all children within the prefab in a flat list. For example, to quickly create the whole set of entities within a prefab without having to traverse the hierarchy.

can we do something as below in ECS

LocalTransform transform = SystemAPI.Getcomponent<LocalTransform>(entityPrefab)

 

Yes

 

So we could dynamically change our entity prefab during runtime, that's a nice feature

 

Looks like it's problematic, I'm trying to read the bounds size from an entity prefab, while it's legal to do all the get read operations, it's a default struct that contains no useful data

 

WorldRenderBounds? That's only up-to-date at runtime or for scene entities in closed subscenes. RenderBounds should be valid though, which you can transform into world space yourself.

 

Yeah I was using WorldRenderBounds, Could you give me some hints on how to convert RenderBounds value to world, just had a check on them, they are all the same with extent (0.5, 0.5, 0.5), even on object with different scales, is there a conversion function or something.

 

AABB.Transform()

You can find example usage in RenderBoundsUpdateSystem.cs
