Possible to use Visual Scripting for ECS?

[dolanmiu]

Title says it all

is it possible at all? Or is DOTS/ECS strictly C# only?

No

Might want to check this subforum instead:

What about DOTS-based visual scripting?

Unity is in the process of evaluating the future of visual scripting in consideration of Bolt, Bolt 2, and our DOTS-based visual scripting solution. Our goal is to create a single, cohesive solution that does not result in broken features or fractured communities, and that meets user expectations around production readiness. For more information on the evolution of visual scripting, please join us in the forums.

Found out it’s possible but it’s experimental:

[apkdev]

Keep in mind that the visual scripting package is not being developed and it’s not compatible with recent Unity/ECS versions.

You mean the one that’s called Visual Scripting ECS (which address is com.unity.visualscripting.entities) ??

Yes. Last release of that package was three years ago and it’s built on Entities 0.14 for Unity 2020.1.

Oh wow, yikes! Thanks for the info…

It is possible, though. The devs of V Rising modified Playmaker to be able to use DOTS. I hope the devs of Playmaker are taking notes.
