Instantiate

Hi
Just curious on instantiate and its memory use.
For example lets say i make a build and have a script to instantiate an object ,the instantiated object textures etc are loaded in memory when the game is run, or only after it is instantiated?
And follow up question if that instantiated object is then destroyed can it again be instantiated or is it wiped completely?I know in the editor i can instantiate and destroy the same object as many times as i want but not sure if the same applies to a build ?

 

https://unity3d.com/de/learn/tutorials/topics/scripting/object-pooling
should answer all of the questions

 

Specifically want to avoid pooling for a lot of the stuff while i will use it for the less memory intense stuff i already know about pooling want to know the instantiate destroy workflow and its effects on ram.

 

For instance if i already have a reference to an object for instantiation just waiting to be triggered is that object preloaded into the ram.If i load it instead from resources folder would that be more ram friendly?

 

You can never instantiate and destroy the same object more than once. Every time it is a new instance. What you are instantiating is a copy of an original object (usually a prefab).

The resources for that object will be loaded when the scene that contains it is loaded. If you load it from Resources it will be loaded when the Resources call is made.

 

Ok thanks maogvox so Resources.load it will be for me then.
