public BufferTypeHandle<T> GetBufferTypeHandle<T>(bool isReadOnly = false) where T : unmanaged, IBufferElementData
Parameters
Whether the data is only read, not written. Access data as read-only whenever possible.
Returns
Type | Description |
|---|---|
| BufferTypeHandle<T> | An object representing the type information required to safely access buffer components stored in a chunk. |
Remarks
Remember to call BufferTypeHandle<T>.Update.
Pass a BufferTypeHandle instance to a job that has access to chunk data, such as an IJobChunk job, to access that type of buffer component inside the job.
Prefer using SystemAPI.GetBufferTypeHandle in SystemAPI as it will cache in OnCreate for you and call .Update(this) at the call-site.
