PoolManager Class Members

Pools

Pools is the primary means for accessing PoolManager's instance ("spawn") pools.

SpawnPool Class Members

CreatePrefabPool	Creates a new PrefabPool in a SpawnPool to allow prefab-specific options such as instance pre-loading.
Despawn	If the passed transform is managed by the SpawnPool, it will be deactivated and made available to be respawned.
GetPrefab	Returns the prefab used to create the passed instance. This is provided for convenience as Unity doesn't offer this feature.
group	The SpawnPool's 'Group' is the GameObject which has the SpawnPool component and is the default parent of all instances in the pool.
logMessage	Static access to the debug message logging state.
Spawn	Use Spawn() instead of Unity's Instantiate().
