Entities that reuse the same Entity index and version than an entity that was just created.

I got a weird bug where when I load a new scene with entities that get created with ConvertToEntity, previously created and destroyed entities' index and version gets reused. I check with EntityManager if an entity still exists and it returns true, and the entity it references is completely different from the one I checked originally.

I would have thought that reused indexes would at least increment the version number, but the exact same version is reused. Anybody knows how that can happen and how to fix it?

 

Do the entities belong to different worlds?

 

No, I have only one World. One of the entities is created from scratch in a system and destroyed after a while, The other is created from a ConvertToEntity GameObject in a scene loaded additively. When I check in the entity debugger, the new entity gets linked from a field that is supposed to contain a previously destroyed entity. Both their Index and Version Numbers are the same.

 

Be more specific. There's a conversion world during GameObjectConversion that is separate from the destination world, and it is possible you are confusing the two in your conversion scripts.

 

Well, I'm pretty sure they end up in the same World after the conversion. I use the default world generation, stuff gets generated by the GameObjectConversion, and when it gets converted it reuses the same Entity Index and Version from an entity that was just destroyed.

 

I guess u can submit bug report and post the case number at here.
