# 
I want to use Object pooling instead of constant Instantiation to make the raycast more optimized

#

there was a module for it

#

i forgot what it was calle

Pooler | Let's go for a swim in the... part pool!

To be fair though, I wouldn’t be surprised if a FPS game benefited a ton from this, with the constant creation and destruction of bullets. It may not seem like a big difference but as @lewisakura said it all adds up in the end.

ObjectPool: Module for cloning objects without lags

ObjectPool Module Overview The ObjectPool module provides a mechanism for efficiently managing objects without causing FPS drops. It allows objects to be reused rather than recreated, optimizing performance and resource usage. Usage Initialization: Create an instance of ObjectPool using ObjectPool.new() with specified object template, cre...

id recommend looking into the scripts of these

#

i dont have an exact script for the implementation so these will help you get a general idea of how to go about implementing object pooling

#

by viewing the modules and such and what they do

#

i hope this helps somewhat, i recommend looking into these things before opening up a post because there are a lot of posts regarding object pooling, and you could probably find a devforum post that suits you and your needs, even if it's not directly related.

i assume this is a fairly common topic as raycasting and spawning instances can take up a lot of performance, and for some games like tds with a lot of bullets and effects, you need an effective solution for them.

have fun!

i think you could do this by having a set of bullets, and then cloning a new one for use everytime you fire one, so it is just an infinite stock?

because cloning creates a new object, which is expensive
