icleanupcomponentdata-runtime

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of releasing external resources when a Unity DOTS entity is destroyed, without losing the ability to detect the destroyed entity.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Runtime tombstone lifecycle: Keeps an ICleanupComponentData component after DestroyEntity so systems can observe and act on destroyed entities.
• Correct on-destroy cleanup pattern: Uses a cleanup query that targets destroyed entities via .WithNone<MainComponent>(), releases the associated handle/resources, then removes the cleanup component to finalize true destruction.
• Resource-safe destruction workflow: Supports scenarios where you must explicitly free GPU buffers, physics bodies, audio instances, spatial index entries, or registry slots at destruction time.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to add an ICleanupComponentData cleanup component to your entities, then create a cleanup system that detects destroyed entities and releases resources before removing the cleanup component.
