dots-enableable-components

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you avoid expensive structural changes in Unity DOTS by choosing IEnableableComponent when you need to toggle entity state frequently, so your systems stay fast and predictable.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Enable/disable without archetype moves: Use IEnableableComponent to flip an enabled bit instead of adding/removing components to prevent chunk shuffling and copying.
• Correct query semantics: Understand how default queries skip disabled components and how IgnoreComponentEnabledState changes what your systems iterate.
• Safe job toggling: Use EnabledRefRW/EnabledRefRO for direct job writes or ECB.SetComponentEnabled when enabling entities outside the current query.

Quick Start

Use dots-enableable-components when designing a hot-path boolean state that flips often (cooldowns, dirty/dead-alive flags, paused/active tags) and you want to toggle it safely in Burst jobs without structural churn.
