Object Pooling System for Unity

Introduction

This object pooling system is designed to use the native unity object pool system and use a manager class as a nice way to manage all your pools and pooled objects.

Setup

1. Import the Namespace:

At the top of your script, add the line:

using Buffer.ObjectPooling;

2. Add the PoolManager to a GameObject: Drag the PoolManager script onto a GameObject in your scene.

3. Configure Pools in the Inspector:

   • Click on the GameObject that has the PoolManager script attached.
   • In the Inspector, you'll see a field to add object pools.
   • For each object type you wish to pool:
     • Set the name.
     • Drag the prefab into the Component field.
     • Define the Initial Size and Max Size for the pool.
     • Optionally, set a Container for pooled objects.

Usage

Retrieve an Object from the Pool

var bullet = PoolManager.Get(Bullet);

Retrieve an Object with Initialization

If your pooled object implements the IPoolObject interface, you can pass initialization arguments: var bullet = PoolManager.Get(Bullet, arg1, arg2);

Return an Object to the Pool

PoolManager.Release(Bullet);
