    I'm using ConvertToEntity. There are some components that I don't have the ability to change them. These components use Transform to work. And my ecs code use Translation to work.
    I found that when I change the value of Translation, the value of Tranform don't change. And when I change the value of Transform, the value of Translation don't change.
    So How can I make the value of them same?
    Or I should use GameObjectEntity? (GameObjectEntity doesn't have Translation component)
    Thanks.

    Add a CopyTransformToGameObject in your conversion

    CopyTransform* only works if you want to copy in one-way. Either from translation to transform or transform to translation. It doesn't work both ways. If you want to sync them both ways, you need to manually copy position data between them.
    Look at the source code to see how CopyTransformToGameObject works and you will get a good idea of how you should implement it.

    Tertle not told you about proxy. He told you about component, which not depend on any thing.
