Question by PaxForce · Oct 25, 2014 at 07:11 AM · game-object

what objects can I make static

Hi all, I have a couple of objects that basically won't change (won't get destroyed, or altered) during game play. These objects are for example - AudioManager, GameControler, PlayersClonesContainer, and so on. Is it a good idea to make them static?

-----------edited------------ Each of this objects has it's own script attached, eg. AudioManager_scr, GameControler_scr, etc. Can I make variables contained within those scripts static? Provided they won't change during the game. Come to think of it...shouldn't I make them constants?

Static as in unity object or as in variable declaration?

@Itaros Yes, I'm sorry I didn't formulate my question correctly. I meant variables that hold references to these objects. Btw I've just "thumbed-up" your question :)

Generally Managers are full objects that are implemented through a singleton pattern, because of how unity works, the singleton pattern needs to be modified to use unity's state machine methods such as Awake, Start, etc.

Unify Community has a couple entries you may want to look at:

Singleton pattern

Toolbox

The singleton pattern allows you to setup static classes that inherit from MonoBehaviour that can be attached to GameObjects and use the same instance of that class. These objects can be marked with DontDestroyOnLoad to ensure they transcend scenes and retain their various values/properties/etc.
