Trying to make a queue system where Agents line up at a Resource and the queue has a cap.
Currently its
Dynamic buffer has issue as it needs command buffer so the queue will be overfilled before it takes effect.
Is there a better way than directly modifying via ComponentLookup?

Why does dynamic buffer need command buffer?

mmm you're right, I can directly change BufferLookup as well
dire sail
private partial struct FindBestTarget : IJobEntity
{
public NativeParallelMultiHashMap< int , Target > targetMap ;
public BufferLookup<ShopItemQueue> shopItemQueues;
public ComponentLookup<ShopItem> shopItems;
private void Execute( Entity entity, ref TargetShopItemEntity targetEntity , ref Destination destination , ref AgentBody agentBody ,
in LocalTransform transform , in DesiredShopItem desiredTask ) {
// sort by distance and queue size logic
// add to queue by directly modifying BufferLookup
if ( shopItemQueues.HasBuffer( targetEntity.Value ) ) {
shopItemQueues[ targetEntity.Value ].Add( new ShopItemQueue { Customer = entity } ) ;
}
}
}```so this way is pretty reasonable?
or is it not an issue reading and writing the lookup in parallel?

Writing to a BufferLookup in parallel would only be an issue if multiple entities processed by the job could have the same TargetShopItemEntity ; you'd get a race condition. If you can guarantee that's not the case by design, then this is reasonable (though you'll have to add the [NativeDisableParallelForRestriction] on the lookup field in order to suppress a safety system error)
