Getting Started

In order to get started, create an ObjectPool for your desired object.

• Use Create -> Master Object Pooler 2 -> Object Pool to create it at edit time
• Use ObjectPool.CreateInstance() to create one at runtime

Once you have an ObjectPool, use pool.GetObject() and pool.Release() in place of all Instantiate and Destroy calls. This means objects will be recycled through the pool, reducing GC and greatly improving efficiency.

Using a MasterObjectPooler can greatly ease the use of managing multiple pools. Pools can be added to it either in the inspector, or at runtime with AddPool. Once added to the pool, you can use all of the normal pool functions (or retrieve the pool) with a string reference.

Extras

AutoPool is a script that can be added to any object to make it automatically pool itself after a surpassed amount of time. The parent pool is injected to the pool via the IPoolable component, so you do not need to do it yourself

You can make your own scripts that use the parent pool by implementing IPoolable

Any script deriving from or using PoolableMonoBehaviour will have a new Release method, allowing you to release the object without needing a reference to its pool

MOP2 also provides GetObjectComponent<T>, a GC free method of getting the object component. This should be used whenever possible to improve efficiency.
