Description

EntityTypeHandleAn object that represents the type information required to safely access Entity instances stored in a chunk.

Remarks

To make sure the entity type handle is up to date, call EntityTypeHandle.Update before you use this method. It's best practice to use SystemAPI.GetEntityTypeHandle instead of this method because
SystemAPI.GetEntityTypeHandle
caches in OnCreate for you and calls Update(ref SystemState) at the call-site.
