Finding an Entity’s Archetype

Is there an API to find an Entity’s archetype (preferably from inside of a job)?

I’ve been searching for a GetArchetype() method (or similar), but so far to no avail. Thank you for any pointers.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. this.EntityManager.GetChunk(entity).Archetype

If you need it from within a job, you can just get it from the Chunk during iteration.
I am not aware of anyway of getting it from within a job if it's just an Entity reference.

However if you need to do this there's a good chance you're doing something you probably shouldn't so i would consider revising what you're trying to do.

 

Like Tertle said, for example try to use Component Tags as definitions to find out which type it is for your conditions. Do you really need the archetype in the first place?
Outside of instantiating I can't think of many uses.

 

I won’t be using Archetypes in this way. Thanks for the help, folks.
