public struct Disabled : IComponentData not working with ForEach (or disable render on Entities)

I have my ForEach setup properly (other than the ref Disabled disabled is not working, thought it's in the arguments for ForEach).

I have the component attached to the Prefab that's turned into Entities (used to create thousands).

Code (CSharp):

1. using Unity.Entities;
2.  
3. [GenerateAuthoringComponent]
4. public struct Disabled : IComponentData
5. { }

Anyone know why this would not Disable the Entities in a Scene? Known issues? No code errors, even code smells from what I can tell. And the other parts of this operation work as expected. I'm running it with burst off and with .Run().

I've been looking at this for almost two hours trying everything I can. I rather be able to disable a renderer if possible even.

I even tried this example, no luck.

Anyone have a suggestion?

 

Is this mean be used with fluent queries and excluding Disable components?

 

Unity already defines a Disabled component. And by default, disabled GameObjects in a subscene will convert into disabled entities. Otherwise, you can add the built-in Disabled tag component for entities you want to disable, or use EntityManager.SetEnabled, which will apply also to all entities in the LinkedEntityGroup.

 

I didn’t know this was available, I remember talks about it.

 

You'll have a chuckle on this one. I thought I had to create the Authoring Component manually. Which i did gleefully. But thanks DreamingImLatios, you alerted me that it's a built-in component. I never thought to check that before. (face palm)

Thanks!
