'EntityManager' does not contain a definition for 'GetName' and no accessible extension method 'GetN

I created a new scene, and I'm getting entities by name when I load the scene UI so I can reset the simulation.

It runs fine in the Editor, but when I try to build the player for any platform, this error is thrown:

'EntityManager' does not contain a definition for 'GetName' and no accessible extension method 'GetName' accepting a first argument of type 'EntityManager' could be found

Code (CSharp):

1. void Start()
2.     {
3.         foreach ( var world in World.All )
4.         {
5.             if ( world.Name.Contains("ClientWorld") )
6.             {
7.                 clientWorld = world;
8.                 clientSimulationSystemGroup = world.GetExistingSystem<ClientSimulationSystemGroup>();
9.  
10.                 var entities = world.EntityManager.GetAllEntities();
11.  
12.                 foreach (var entity in entities)
13.                 {
14.                     var entityName = world.EntityManager.GetName(entity);
15.  
16.                     if (entityName.Equals( "PlayerCapsule") )
17.                     {
18.                         playerCapsule = entity;
19.                     }
20.                     else if (entityName.Equals("EnvironmentCylinder"))
21.                     {
22.                         environmentCylinder = entity;
23.                     }
24.                     else if (entityName.Equals("EnvironmentSphere"))
25.                     {
26.                         environmentSphere = entity;
27.                     }
28.                 }
29.             }
30.         }
31.     }

 

GetName is an editor-only api. If you want to rely on names, you need to create your own Name component and use it instead (however, I do not recommend this approach, always better to use tag components instead).

 

Excellent.. thank you for the prompt feedback.. I like the Tag approach, it's simple and straight forward.
