one-frame blink after creation a new entity

When I select a unit, I add a new selection entity as a child for that unit, but for a short little frame, I can see the new selection object at zero point.

Code (CSharp):

1. protected override JobHandle OnUpdate(JobHandle inputDeps) {
2.     EntityCommandBuffer.Concurrent commandBuffer = m_endSimulationEntityCommandBufferSystem.CreateCommandBuffer().ToConcurrent();
3.     Entity prefabEntity = m_selectionHighlightingPrefab.value;
4.     JobHandle highlightHandle = Entities.WithAll<Selected>().WithNone<HasSelectionHighlighting>().ForEach((Entity entity, int entityInQueryIndex) => {
5.         commandBuffer.AddComponent(entityInQueryIndex, entity, new HasSelectionHighlighting());
6.        
7.         Entity newEntity = commandBuffer.Instantiate(entityInQueryIndex, prefabEntity);
8.         commandBuffer.AddComponent(entityInQueryIndex, newEntity, new Parent{Value = entity});
9.         commandBuffer.AddComponent(entityInQueryIndex, newEntity, new LocalToParent());
10.         commandBuffer.AddComponent(entityInQueryIndex, newEntity, new Translation{Value = {y = 0.01f}});
11.         commandBuffer.AddComponent(entityInQueryIndex, entity, new ChildSelectionHighlighting{value = newEntity});    
12.     }).Schedule(inputDeps);
13.     highlightHandle.Complete();
14.     return highlightHandle;
15. }
16.  

Any idea how to fix that?

 

This is due to LocalToWorld set from Translation in the next frame. You can prevent this by setting LocalToWorld directly when spawning!

 

thank you, it works!
