It seems like they made it a lot smaller and more lightweight. Refactoring is certainly better, and not that far off from Resharper/Rider. I tested Visual Studio Code recently, and I must say it impressed me, even though its refactoring capabilities leaves a bit to be desired.

@petter90786 жыл бұрын
I think the reason for this is that the benifit of inline memory/multithreading won't show until your program has a lot more processes. This project has barely any processes, which will result in multithreading being slower. After a while, when your program has more complex rendering and so on, you will probably see pure ECS dominate. I am not 100% sure of this, however I had a class last semester on something similiar. And one of the key parts I learned about multithreading, is the fact that you are not 100% sure when the next command will be run in parallell. So it could be 0.02ms in the future, or 0.2ms. (We were mostly doing transactions though, not user inputs). Have you checked whether it is 0.2ms every time, or if it varies? Also, I was certain you were supposed to activate the Burst compiler with a command? He did not do it.
@azzogathor6 жыл бұрын
Joachim answered a similar question of mine. "sync points will show up heavily, otherwise for JobComponentSystem it will only show the cost to schedule the jobs". Guessing that in this case, scheduling the job is more expensive than the actual job. The job debugger overhead is also playing a part (race condition checker).
@petter90786 жыл бұрын
Yeah, this makes sense. The cost of having the job scheduling system is not worth it for low amounts of work. So I guess the system is not as prominent as one would want it to be for the time being.

Maybe I'm just too used to using GameObjects and MonoBehaviours, but isn't the bootstrap essentially "instantiating" all of the entities? I get that ECS is keeping the data separate from the logic and I can see the benefits, but if I'm constructing all my entities from code at runtime, what would happen if I had plenty of different entities to spawn, all with different meshes and materials? Would that mean exposing mesh and material variables for each unique entity? I get that this is an introduction video and maybe there's better ways to do this, and maybe things will change when ECS is more developed, but that just seems like it could get messy really quick. And sure, maybe you could make multiple bootstraps for, say, each system, but at that point why not just use GameObjects instead? Idk, maybe I'm missing something. If someone can explain it a little better I'd appreciate it, since everything else I'm seeing about pure ECS looks really interesting.
@naheleallan88156 жыл бұрын
You are correct that it is essentially instantiating entities, the difference is in how it does this. With Traditional Monobehaviours on Gameobjects, memory is allocated somewhat randomly, so for instance iterating through an array of Transforms and doing something to them is comparably slower. With Entities, everything is managed in memory much better. So in order to iterate through an array, you are essentially iterating through memory points in a linear fashion instead of jumping around, making it orders of magnitude faster due to the way that CPUs work. The workflow of ECS limits things getting messy, because it is easy to create logic that, say, you want applied to any Entity that has a particular Component (Such as an Animate component) which makes it cleaner than it might seem when you're first wrapping your head around it. I hope this helps!

These are the areas that the current implementation of Unity ECS still does not support out of the box. But the same functionality can still be achieved. For instance, OnColliderEnter can be simulated by creating a system that checks the positions of all the entities in a scene and determines whether or not any of them have collided.

So how would the logic of say game state and game rules work out in ECS? I have only seen examples where it is transforming data straightforwardly, as opposed to handling state machines and complex logic. I understand one of the goals is to more clearly define and seperate logic, but I'm very interested to see how this works in practice for more complex behaviours. Is each system basically a behaviour?

Hello! I am working on a project that requires me to simulate flocking behaviour. Problem is, using only CPU maxes out the amount of possible boids at around 1500 instances, since each instance has to compare to all other instances in order to steer. There are some other approaches like Physics.Overlapsphere or using Octrees instead of a full reference list or making use of ECS. But all of these approaches won't get me over 2k Boids. I have looked into Compute shaders for this purpose, there is a project out there that makes use of GPU Computing and successfully simulates 32k boids at once, which is more than enough. My question is: Is it possible to register collisions with those GPU instanced objects? I need my boids to collide with moving and static objects in my scene, while the collision needs to trigger a monobehaviour script/ECS (something similar to OnTriggerEnter with GPU instancing). I am quite new to compute shaders, do you have any idea how I would go about collision detection using compute shader instancing? Haven't found anything useful online. Thanks in advance!
