Do you use Jobs system? Object pooling? both?
just asking out of pure interest <.<
I hope this will help people especially beginners, i for myself will write an own system just to learn ^^
It does use the jobs system - it should be commented so you can see what's going on!
There are actually no gameobjects at all, so pooling isn't needed. The bullets are all rendered with one draw call per bullet manager, it's about as optimised as I can make it at the minute. It should be ok with around 20,000 bullets on-screen and stay above 60fps 😁 obviously you'll never need that many, but it means you've got a lot of performance budget for other things like post-processing.
You're welcome to have a look and see how it works - that's half the reason I've put it up here and made sure it's so well commented 😂
it is actually intended for top-down 3D because that's the game I'm currently working on 😂 it should work with any meshes. The demo uses quads, but there's no reason you can't use a sphere or something else!
It uses DrawMeshInstanced, not InstancedIndirect. Couldn't get indirect to work before the jam, not going to have time unfortunately! That just means there's a cap of 1023 bullets per manager. I don't think you should need that!
