Fireball instantiate - lags

Questions & Answers
1

Hey I have a few of skills like fireballs (2D game for Android) and I have a problem :
When I launch any kind of prefab by instantiate - the game becomes very laggy for a while.

Should I rather Instantate all needed prefabs at the Start/Awake and then just enabling/disabling them? and for for example fireball bullet - when it hits sth just setactive(false) and change its position?
Would it be a right way?

Thanks in Advance

Yes your second approach is correct, its called Object Pooling. There are scripts for that if you want to save time, here’s a simple one I’ve used: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/simple-reusable-object-pool-help-limit-your-instantiations.76851/
