Resolved How do I exclude components from being baked onto an entity in standalone builds?

Hi,

I have a number of debugging related components that I want to be baked onto an entity for use in play mode in the editor but excluded from being added to the entity when in a standalone build.

Is there a way to specify that a component type should be excluded from entities in a standalone build, but still attached to an entity for use in the editor / play mode?

Thanks.

 

Would something like this not work?

Code (CSharp):

1. public class TestBaker : Baker<TestAuthoring>
2. {
3.     public override void Bake(TestAuthoring authoring)
4.     {
5.         #if UNITY_EDITOR
6.         AddComponent<TestComponent>();
7.         #endif
8.     }
9. }

 

I tried that and it didn't work. I was thinking that would be how to do it, but since baking happens in the editor I think it gets added regardless.

 

I would look into how the netcode package exclude all graphics component from server only builds.

 

Good idea. I'll look into that.

 

Bakers have a method

IsBakingForEditor()

for this.
