Is there a data/entity storage system for none active data?

Some aspects of games require none active data.

What is the best way to store data in a format that can be easily converted into active entities/chunks?

It seems that storing inactive data in a format/pattern that is easily activated into chunks would be ideal.

 

I don't think individual entity / chunk serialization is implemented yet but is probably coming at some point.

For now, you'd probably just do something like create an 'InactiveTag' component on entities and subtract it from queries/jobs to ignore entities.

 

How about attaching the built in Disabled IComponentData so no one can get it?

 

Oh for some reason i thought Disabled had been removed. It has not, that is good to know.

I was basically suggesting replicating that behaviour, but it's much easier to just use that component.

 

I wonder how to enable disabled entities... how to remove

Disabled

component if all systems ignore it...

 

Explicitly querying them still works. Eg an query having Disabled in the All list will return disabled chunks.
