Problems with ISharedComponentData

Hey,

I'm having some trouble with ISharedComponentData, not sure if I misunderstood how to use it.
From what I understand, you want to use ISharedComponentData for data that will be the same in a lot of instances and does not change very often, but except for that it works largely like IComponentData.

So, let's say I have a bunch of CollidableBoxes with only a Scale-parameter; loads of them will be standard 1x1x1 boxes but a few will have other values, so I figure ISharedComponentData is a good way to go. Whenever I create a box, I use SetSharedComponentData to set its scale. When I run the game, the EntityDebugger shows that the Scale for all boxes is 0, no matter what I initialise them with.

Similarly, I thought I could use SharedComponentDataArray as parameters for jobs but I'm getting exceptions when I use those.

It would be great if someone could clarify their purpose and maybe give an example on how to best use them.
Thanks!

 

Should normaly work...
Maybe you can provide some code for us.

SharedComponentDataArray must have the [ReadOnly] Attribute attached to it.

 

I think that's a problem with the entity debugger, when I used ISharedComponentData for some int values it showed me some absurd random values, but printing them gave me the correct result, so I think that part is just a bug in the debugger window.
