Does rapid layer changing affect performance?
Hi, in my script i every frame move quite a few objects to "Ignore Raycast" layer and then back to their original layer to prevent them being detected obviously. So i'm just wondering is it gonna affect performance a lot, especially for mobile. Personally i didn't noticed much difference in the profiler. Thank you!
You should simply create an intensive test to find out, and let us know the results.
Pile up a load of objects and have then all switch together each frame. See how long it takes in the profiler. Dont nest anything though, because that will give false results.
I think having multiple layers don't affect performance that much because is just a way to reference things. But move object through layers every single frame I think it will affect performance. Check this it might help https://unity3d.com/pt/learn/tutorials/topics/physics/physics-best-practices
