[FREE] Singleton Liberation - Inherit from your own MonoBehaviour

Let's free your hands.

• Need MonoBehaviour becomes singleton? ~~~Yep!
• Want a more considerate implementation? ~~~If possible.
• Have to make it from scratch? ~~~Better not.
• Costs your only chance to inherit in C#? ~~~Definitely not!

Overview:

• Full source code and examples included, and for MonoBehaviour in C# only.
• Auto find existing instance, and warning if duplicates found.
• Auto create if none, and ask user if to create when edit mode, without making a ghost silently.
• Not required to derive from any specific class, since C# inheritance is so precious.

The further technical documentation is available here.
And the tutorial is right below.


Coding:

• All you need to do is to declare a property.

• If you wanna do more for safe, check it in Awake().

• Or if you don't need custom inheritance, it becomes much easier.

• Nothing more to do, just access the singleton and keep creating.

Notifications:

• For preventing mistakes, this'll notify when things below happen.
• Throw exception when coding incorrectly, see the documentation for detail.
• Throw exception or log error when multiple instances found existing.
• Pop up a dialog to make sure user allow the script to create a new instance in edit mode.

Examples:

• The class BaseSingleton is also the example for Singleton.
• And a simple FramerateCounter is the example for BaseSingleton.
