I noticed that neither EntityManager.TryGetAspect<T>(Entity entity, out T value) nor SystemAPI.TryGetAspectRO<T>(Entity entity, out T value>) does exists.
#Is there a way to try get an aspect from an Entity?

Actually, there are no TryGetComponent either... so how can I check if a given entity does have one?
Oh, I see there is HasComponent, but no HasAspect
woeful vault
I don't see anything either
aspects have a ComponentType[] RequiredComponents, you could create a helper function that checks all the component types one by one 🤷
languid swan
Oh, ok
HasComponent<T> requires a generic, it doesn't accepts a ComponentType @woeful vault
woeful vault
there are 2 overloads without generic as well
unless they removed them after pre15 but that seems unlikely 😛
languid swan
Ohh, I was looking into SystemAPI, it seems there are not there but in EntityManager.
Thanks

btw @languid swan what version of entities do you use? now, in pre65, I dont have the RequiredComponents on my aspect anymore so I am a little confused myself 😂
In pre65, EntityQueryBuilder now has a WithAspect<T>() to help out; I would expect the entitymanager has similar helpers
on the aspect there's also a generated enumerator that takes a query
languid swan
1.0.0-pre.65
In order to check if the entity has the aspect or not, I used EntityManager.HasComponent(Entity, ComponentType) per component in the aspect
woeful vault
you were able to get the components used by the aspect?
languid swan
you were able to get the components used by the aspect?
I hardcoded that manually as an static method in my aspect
MyAspect.HasAspect(EntityManager, Entity)
woeful vault
I found another way, too, using EntityQueryMask
EntityQuery aspectQuery = new EntityQueryBuilder(Allocator.Temp).WithAspect<CharacterAspect>().Build(EntityManager);
EntityQueryMask aspectQueryMask = aspectQuery.GetEntityQueryMask();
bool hasAspectIgnoreFilter = aspectQueryMask.MatchesIgnoreFilter(myEntity);
yes, but ignoring any filter on the query and includes disabled components
languid swan
mm, no idea what are filters actually, I guess I'll have to read doc haha.
Though, when you put an aspect in a IJobEntity.Execute, does it includes aspects with disabled components or not? I mean, does this uses the same criteria than IJobEntity? 🤔
