Task System - Reduce Boiler Plate Jobs

[Jon Keon]

There are lots of times where data comes into a top level task driver like NavigateStart that just needs to be converted into a PathfindStart for a sub task driver.

Same kind of thing when a FollowPathComplete happens and the NavigateTaskDriver grabs that and just converts it to a NavigateComplete.

We still have to write a job that does that and it's tedious. It would be nice to have something create a generic job or code-gen a way to reduce this boiler plate.

There may be a way to leverage Unity's LambdaSingleJobDescription. I've started going down the route of using it in a class outside of a system before but not far enough to check if the code gen actually works in a different context.

Here's what looks like a fairly simple example of code gen working in Unity that may be a good starting point.
