    I don't find a method or property to get the entity when I'm using ConvertToEntity.
    Is there a way to get the entity? Or I shouldn't get the entity when I'm using ConvertToEntity?
    Thanks.

    If using convert and inject, you need to write the entity reference into a MonoBehaviour during conversion. Why do you need this?

    I use GameObject.Instantiate to create gameobject. Then I want to change the value of a componentdata on it. So I need the entity.

    You can use

    Code (CSharp):
    1. GameObjectConversionUtility.ConvertGameObjectHierarchy
    it returns the entity.

    Thanks.
    What's the difference between ConvertToEntity and GameObjectConversationUtility.ConvertGameObject?
