Pool Manager

Pooling objects means reusing game objects instead of instantiating and destroying them every time when they are needed. As Unity's garbage collector is very performance-heavy and could result in serious hiccups and dropping frames during the game, this asset implements strict pooling (activation/deactivation) for game objects needed multiple times in one scene. Thus instantiate and destroy should be replaced by PoolManager.Spawn() and PoolManager.Despawn(). Setting up object pooling in your scene is very easy:

• have a container game object with the PoolManager script
• beneath this container, add one or multiple child game objects and name them as you wish
• add the Pool script to these child game objects and enter your configuration in the inspector
• if the prefab has a NetworkObject/PhotonView component it is considered as networked automatically

In this asset, networked PoolManager use-cases include: spawning bullets and powerups. Non-networked PoolManager uses-cases are: spawning particle effects like hit and death explosions or sound effects.
