How to write components back after been proccesed by a Job?

I'm fetching components with a ComponentGroup inside of a ComponentSystem. The fetched components are passed to a IJobParallelFor. One of those components then needs to be wrote back to the system. But how?

Just writing to the NativeArray by ToComponentDataArray<>() doesn't work. Using Entitie.ForEach with the same set of components sounds counter intuitive and also doesn't gurantee I'm writing back to the same entity (doesn't it?).

I guess I should be using the JobComponentSystem but I need to cross access all entities inside the job, so that won't work.

Any Ideas?

 

ToComponentDataArray() make copy of original components so wirting to it is not persistent. If you want to write back, use ToEntityArray() with ComponentDataFromEntitiy() or just IJobProcessComponentData struct.

 

For writing back if you using ToComponentDataArray() you should use CopyFromComponentDataArray, it's API added in 0.0.24 for this purposes.

 

That's what i'm was looking for, thank you!
