    Hi!
    I want to find the closest entity from some point. I used
    Code (CSharp):
    1. World.CalculateDistance(pointDistanceInput, out DistanceHit hit);
    in job and it works great.

    But I want to search for the closest entity from entities containing a specific tag. How can I do that?
    1. I can find the list of all entities and then find the closest that contains the tag
    2. I can use CollisionFilter and set a layer instead of a tag. But what is the best way to change a layer in runtime?
