Is there a better way to update a component that is not part of the .ForEach().Schedule()?

I am trying to understand if there is a superior approach to bring in and alter the components for entities that are not apart of the entity query, than is better than my current .ToEntityArray approach. Better yet, if there was no need to bring Entities and use something similar to ToComponentDataArray which provides an array of components from all entities that have them.

I am new to Unity and Dots, but I think what you want is called the “Chunk”. You will need to go hunt for the api on how to do that. I saw it before 2 weeks or so ago when I was a total noob. You will need the entity for each thing you want to update too, so you can offset to the right location in the chunk.

I found 2 posts that seem pretty useful starting point for chunk research:

Hope that gives you a starting point to research more. If you get it solved, please post a code snippit! I’d like to know the solution.
