What is entity.Index?

[Mr-Mechanical]

Hi,

I’m interested in information about entity.Index. Is it unique to each entity?

Thank you for the help.

No.

Entity Id / index / version

Entity consists of two variables index and version and 2 entities considered as equal only when both index and version are equal Could you please explain why entity identity defined by a combination of two variables? and what index and version mean?

[Mr-Mechanical]

Thank you for the speedy response with more info. So my interpretation: no current entities can have the same index, but if some entities are destroyed then the indexes may be reused (?). Is this correct?

Yes

Exactly. This is why the version and the index together is the proper address of an entity. I don’t have these things in the front of me, but if I remember correctly it’s the Id.
