Is this the valid pattern to convert a gameobject now?

Now that the blob asset is not optional anymore I am not sure when to dispose it.

var _blobStore = new BlobAssetStore();

GameObjectConversionUtility.ConvertGameObjectHierarchy
(item, GameObjectConversionSettings.FromWorld(physicsWorld, _blobStore));

_blobStore.Dispose();

Is disposing it immediately valid? If not what should suggest me that is not a valid pattern? If not am I supposed to hold on the blobasset and dispose it at the end of the application?
If instead you reckon is a valid pattern, then there are some bugs I have to report.

 

Im not sure how it is supposed to work, but I create an assetsore myself

_assetStore = new BlobAssetStore();

and dispose it in OnDestroy()

 

yeah it seems that disposing it at the end of the execution is the safe way to use it, it's just strange that I didn't read it in the official documentation, but at this point I don't think I need an official answer.

 

How exactly do you get the BlobAssetStore from the GameObjectConversionSystem?

 

It's a property inside GameObjectConversionSystem.

So from inside your Authoring Monobehaviour you just get it like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. public void Convert(Entity entity, EntityManager dstManager, GameObjectConversionSystem conversionSystem)
2.     {
3.         var blobStore = conversionSystem.BlobAssetStore;
4.     }
5.      

 

I'm using ConvertGameObjectHierarchy() within a Monobehaviour. I don't have access to conversionSystem. Explain? Or am I doing something wrong here?

 

I'm not very familiar with ConvertGameObjectHierarchy() since it is not the recommended workflow for basic Conversion.
I think ConvertGameObjectHierarchy() creates its own ConversionWorld each time you call it and disposes it right after that Hierarchy is Converted (and it's BlobAssetStore with it).

So i guess you should hold on to your Store like loicbaumann suggested:
