Learn Unity ECS 101

Welcome to our guide on creating and adding components in Unity using ECS (Entity Component System). In this post, we’ll explore the differences between Unity's standard components and ECS components, and walk you through the process of adding components to entities. We’ll cover key concepts like baking, and demonstrate how to set up and view components in both authoring and runtime modes. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a clear understanding of how to work with ECS components and implement them in your Unity projects. Let me remind you of the full form of ECS: Entity Component System. It consists of three key elements: 1. Entity, 2. Component, and 3. System. In this blog post, I will specifically focus on how to create and add components, and explain the differences between Unity's standard components and ECS components.

Today, I will address common questions asked by Unity developers: 'What is ECS in Unity?', 'Is ECS worth using in your next project?', 'Can I convert my old project to Unity ECS?', and 'Where should I start learning Unity ECS?'. Stay with me as I cover all these answers in this post. Welcome back! If you're not aware of why I created this blog, let me clarify. I'm converting an old Unity project to the new DOTS technologies. First, I’ll be using ECS to re-architect the project, and then I’ll delve into the physics aspects. Stay with me and enhance your skills by learning Unity ECS. When I began learning Unity DOTS, I noticed several frequently asked questions and discussions posted on Reddit, Unity forums, and Unity Discord channels. Let me share my experiences and answer these questions. Table of Content : What is ECS in Unity? What is Entity ? What is Component ? What is System ? Is ECS worth using in your next projec...
