Introduction to EZ Pool
EZ Pooling is a simple asset that can make any game become more efficient and run faster.
EZ Pooling helps to keep track of the objects that are needed over and over again in the scene. By
managing a pool of objects and activating / deactivating them via Spawn() and Despawn(), EZ
Pooling bypasses the time expensive functions of calling Destroy and Instantiate.
EZ Pooling is easy to integrate to any project, just replace Instantiate(...) with Spawn(...) and
Destroy() with Despawn()

Quick start guide
1 ) Create an empty gameobject and add in the EZ Pooling/EZ_PoolManager Component.

2) Set the options.

Auto-Add Missing Items : allow the pool manager to smart allocate new pools when
required during run-time.
The default options given to the newly created pools can be tweaked at :
/// 
/// Method to create a new pool during run time. 'auto Add Missing Items' must be
enabled
/// 
private static void CreateMissingPrefabPool(Transform missingTrans, string name)
{
var newPrefabPool = new EZ_PrefabPool();
//Set the new pool options here
newPrefabPool.parentTransform = parentTransform;
newPrefabPool.poolCanGrow = true;
Pools.Add(name, newPrefabPool);
// for the Inspector only
var newPrefabPoolOption = new EZ_PrefabPoolOption();
newPrefabPoolOption.prefabTransform = missingTrans;
newPrefabPoolOption.poolCanGrow = true;
EZ_PoolManager.Instance.prefabPoolOptions.Add(newPrefabPoolOption);
if (EZ_PoolManager.Instance.showDebugLog)
{
Debug.Log("EZ_PoolManager created Pool Item for missing item : " + name);
}
}

Show Debug Log : log events, warnings, errors
Use Pool Manager : self-explanatory

3) Click Add to add a pool
4) Assign the prefab that you want to pool.

5) The final thing is to replace the Instantiate and Destroy to Spawn and Despawn.
For each object that are in the pool, make sure that you assign a script that has the method
OnSpawned() and OnDespawned() as Awake() or Start() won’t be called by the Pool Manager. And
move the initializing logic to OnSpawned().

Example
public class basic_object : MonoBehaviour
{
void OnSpawned()
{
//this method will be called when an object is spawned by the pool manager
if (rigidbody)
rigidbody.velocity = Vector3.zero;
}
void OnDespawned()
{
//this method will be called when an object is despawned by the pool manager
}
}

See examples in the project folder for more details.

Advanced Options.
Allow Pool to grow : allow pool to grow when there is demand for more objects in the
scene
Cull Despawned : destroy excess despawned obj to free memory space
Allow Pool to recycle : allow the pool to reuse the oldest active game obj when the hard
limit is already reached, or if the pool is not allowed to grow.

That’s it for now, I hope this asset will make your game more awesome.
