Best way to check if destination crowded within a job

Couldn’t find a definitive answer here in forums. Is there a way to check the density at a position within an ISystem? Basically I need my agents do something else if there’s already a bunch of agents squatting at the destination.

Sure.

You can do something like this (pseudocode):

struct MyJob : IJob {
	[ReadOnly]
	public RVOQuadtreeBurst quadtree;

	void Execute () {
		var area = quadtree.QueryArea(somePoint, someRadius);
	}
}

void Schedule() {
	var simulator = RVOSimulator.active?.GetSimulator();
	var writeLock = simulator.LockSimulationDataReadWrite();
	systemState.Dependency = new MyJob {
		quadtree = simulator.quadtree,
	}.Schedule();
	writeLock.UnlockAfter(systemState.Dependency);
}

Take a look at the RVOSystem.cs file for more inspiration.
