# B0003
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
As commands are executed asynchronously, it is possible to issue a command on an entity that will no longer exist at the time of the command execution.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Erroneous code example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```rust,should_panic
 | 
						|
use bevy::prelude::*;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
fn main() {
 | 
						|
    App::new()
 | 
						|
        .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
 | 
						|
        .add_startup_system(setup)
 | 
						|
        .add_system(despawning)
 | 
						|
        .add_system(use_entity.after(despawning))
 | 
						|
        .run();
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#[derive(Resource)]
 | 
						|
struct MyEntity(Entity);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#[derive(Component)]
 | 
						|
struct Hello;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
fn setup(mut commands: Commands) {
 | 
						|
    let entity = commands.spawn_empty().id();
 | 
						|
    commands.insert_resource(MyEntity(entity));
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
fn despawning(mut commands: Commands, entity: Option<Res<MyEntity>>) {
 | 
						|
    if let Some(my_entity) = entity {
 | 
						|
        commands.entity(my_entity.0).despawn();
 | 
						|
        commands.remove_resource::<MyEntity>();
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
fn use_entity(mut commands: Commands, entity: Option<Res<MyEntity>>) {
 | 
						|
    if let Some(my_entity) = entity {
 | 
						|
        commands.entity(my_entity.0).insert(Hello);
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This will panic, as system `use_entity` is executed after system `despawning`. Without the system ordering specified here, the ordering would be random and this code would panic half the time.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The default panic message is telling you the entity id (`0v0`) and the command that failed (adding a component `Hello`):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```text
 | 
						|
thread 'main' panicked at 'error[B0003]: Could not add a component (of type `use_entity_after_despawn::Hello`) to entity 0v0 because it doesn't exist in this World.', /bevy/crates/bevy_ecs/src/system/commands/mod.rs:752:13
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
But you don't know which system tried to add a component, and which system despawned the entity.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To get the system that created the command that panics, you can enable the `trace` feature of Bevy. This will add a panic handler that will print more information:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```text
 | 
						|
   0: bevy_ecs::schedule::stage::system_commands
 | 
						|
           with name="use_entity_after_despawn::use_entity"
 | 
						|
             at crates/bevy_ecs/src/schedule/stage.rs:880
 | 
						|
   1: bevy_ecs::schedule::stage
 | 
						|
           with name=Update
 | 
						|
             at crates/bevy_ecs/src/schedule/mod.rs:337
 | 
						|
   2: bevy_app::app::frame
 | 
						|
             at crates/bevy_app/src/app.rs:113
 | 
						|
   3: bevy_app::app::bevy_app
 | 
						|
             at crates/bevy_app/src/app.rs:126
 | 
						|
thread 'main' panicked at 'error[B0003]: Could not add a component (of type `use_entity_after_despawn::Hello`) to entity 0v0 because it doesn't exist in this World.', /bevy/crates/bevy_ecs/src/system/commands/mod.rs:752:13
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
From the first two lines, you now know that it panics while executing a command from the system `use_entity`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To get the system that created the despawn command, you can enable DEBUG logs for crate `bevy_ecs`, for example by setting the environment variable `RUST_LOG=bevy_ecs=debug`. This will log:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```text
 | 
						|
DEBUG stage{name=Update}:system_commands{name="use_entity_after_despawn::despawning"}: bevy_ecs::world: Despawning entity 0v0
 | 
						|
thread 'main' panicked at 'error[B0003]: Could not add a component (of type `use_entity_after_despawn::Hello`) to entity 0v0 because it doesn't exist in this World.', /bevy/crates/bevy_ecs/src/system/commands/mod.rs:752:13
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
From the first line, you know the entity `0v0` was despawned when executing a command from system `despawning`. In a real case, you could have many log lines, you will need to search for the exact entity from the panic message.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Combining those two, you should get enough information to understand why this panic is happening and how to fix it:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```text
 | 
						|
DEBUG stage{name=Update}:system_commands{name="use_entity_after_despawn::despawning"}: bevy_ecs::world: Despawning entity 0v0
 | 
						|
