Cloned arrays and memory leaks

Hi
Trying to anticipate possible issues with a cloned array.


I've defined 2 public accessors like this

Code (CSharp):

1.     public GameObject[] Icon_Prefabs; //size gets set in inspector! drag prefabs in there!
2.     public GameObject[] clonedIcons;

And then in my Start method I have

Code (CSharp):

1. void Start(){
2. for (int i = 0; i < Icon_Prefabs.Length; i++)
3.         {
4.          
5.              clonedIcons[i] = Icon_Prefabs[i];
6.         }
7.  
8. }

And lastly in my Update I am constantly Instantiating GameObjects from the clonedIcons Array.
These GameObjects Destroy themsleves after a random interval.

Will I encounter memory leaks or other issues using this logic(with a cloned array)?

 

clonedIcons is just going to be a reference to the objects in the Icon_Prefabs array. I'm not sure why you are using it. Although, if you are creating a destorying objects every frame, look up and study object pooling.
