Hi, I’m curious if Behavior Designer Pro will support ECS, as mentioned in the announcement about adopting DOTS. Will it be able to access entities in subscenes? I’ve tried other tools like the A* Pathfinding Project, which requires significant coding to work with ECS subscenes. Will Behavior Designer Pro handle this differently and make it easier to use with ECS?
Thanks

Behavior Designer Pro uses DOTS as its backend. And yes, you can access Entities. With that said, DOTS tasks are more complicated because of the nature of the system. You can still use GameObject-based tasks like normal with Behavior Designer Pro. Those tasks are straight forward like they are in the current version.

I talk a lot about it in the last Game Dev Insiders episode:
