RefPool

GitHub Repo stars GitHub last commit GitHub issues Unity Version

RefPool is a lightweight, ScriptableObject-driven pooling system for Unity 6.0 and above.
It enables clean, efficient reuse of GameObjects across scenes without relying on global registries.

Features

  • ScriptableObject-based pool references for cross-scene linking
  • Lazy pool initialization and automatic cleanup on unload
  • Efficient memory management through shared pooling
  • Supports runtime spawning with configurable options such as spawn rate, position overrides, and randomization
  • Clean integration with Unity’s component model
  • Extendable through custom PoolResource implementations for advanced pooling behaviors

Installation

Unity Package Manager (via Git URL)

  1. Open your Unity project
  2. Go to Packages/manifest.json
  3. Add the following line to the dependencies block:

json "com.bluepixeldev.refpool": "https://github.com/bluepixeldev/refpool.git"

Manual Import

Clone or download this repository and move the RefPool folder into your project's Assets directory.

Usage

Create a Pool Resource

  1. Right-click in the Project window
  2. Select Create > RefPool > Pool or Pool Group
  3. Assign the prefab and configure pool size, increment size, and other settings

Add a RefPoolSpawner

  1. Attach the RefPoolSpawner component to a GameObject
  2. Assign the PoolResource you created
  3. Configure spawn behavior as needed

Trigger Spawning

You can trigger pooled object spawning manually or automatically:

```csharp [SerializeField] private PoolSpawner spawner;

void SomeEventTrigger() { spawner.Spawn(); } ```

Extending with Custom Pool Behaviors

RefPool allows you to implement custom pooling logic by extending the PoolResource class. This enables advanced use cases such as dynamic pool resizing, custom initialization, or specialized cleanup logic.

Here’s an example of a custom PoolResource:

```csharp using UnityEngine;

namespace BP.RefPool { public class CustomPoolResource : PoolResource { public override void Initialize() { // Custom initialization logic }

    public override GameObject Get()
    {
        // Custom logic for retrieving a GameObject from the pool
        return null;
    }

    public override bool Release(GameObject gameObject)
    {
        // Custom logic for releasing a GameObject back to the pool
        return true;
    }
}

} ```

This flexibility allows you to tailor the pooling system to your specific project requirements.
