self scheduling job

is there the concept of self scheduling / re-entrant job or can it be achieved some how?

I am talking about a job the schedules itself again (without entering in an infinite loop of course)

a ever lasting job (until killed) may be also interesting.

 

Currently you can't schedule a job outside of the main thread.

I guess if I add a while (true) inside a job I would break the system?

 

It will be an infinite job

 

According Joachim post here https://forum.unity.com/threads/scheduling-long-running-jobs-from-systems.629347/#post-4216498 will not break. But if you have a dependency with another system will cause issues.

OK thanks I may try that then

 

Be aware that there is no way to force a job to abort. You need to take care of this by yourself.

yeah I will use something like while (_running)

 

Can't you run a system on the main thread that periodically invokes the said job?

 

What your asking for is most probably not the best way of going about things. I would try find another solution.

 

Important detail has been missed here. Do yo want loop job independently from frame, or can your job run once per frame?
