How To Spawn Entities With Different Properties

To use a concrete example -- if I wanted to change the HelloCube_06_SpawnFromEntity example to spawn cubes with different (say, random) rotation speeds, how would I go about that? Changing the RotationSpeedProxy to use a random value gives all of the cubes spawned that same random value.

 

You would modify the spawn job to use a Unity.Mathematics.Random object to generate rotation values and set the rotation the same way the translation is set.

 

I'm wanting to change the rotation speed rather than the actual rotation. I'm not sure how to access that property in the spawner.

 

Then set the RotationSpeed component instead of the Rotation component in the job.

 

For anyone who wonders what I was wondering, the answer is to do the following in the Execute() method of the SpawnJob struct. At the top of the method, create a Unity.Mathematics.Random:

Code (CSharp):

1. var rnd = new Random(0x482093u);

and after setting the translation, add:

Code (CSharp):

1. CommandBuffer.SetComponent(instance, new RotationSpeed {RadiansPerSecond = rnd.NextFloat(0.1f, 6.282f)} );
