Static reference cost

Questions & Answers

Hey,

Let’s say that i have some singleton classes, like this for example:

public class Player : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static Player instance;

    void Awake()
    {
        instance = this;
    }
}

Is it fine to use Player.instance a lot in other scripts, or should cache it in a variable on start and use that instead?

calling Player.instance is ultra cheap. It’s as negligible as a straw against a huge metal beam
