Prefab Instantiation Management with Scriptable Objects

• Scriptable Object-Based Instantiation: This system allows you to manage the instantiation of prefabs using ScriptableObjects, promoting clean, decoupled code.
• RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod Integration: Prefabs are instantiated at runtime using the RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod attribute, providing flexibility for initialization before or after scene loading.
• Support for RuntimeInitializeLoadType: Each instantiation can be configured to initialize at different points in the application lifecycle by managing the RuntimeInitializeLoadType, such as:
  • BeforeSceneLoad: Initialize prefabs before any scene is loaded.
  • AfterSceneLoad: Initialize prefabs after the first scene is loaded.
  • AfterAssembliesLoaded: Run instantiation after the assemblies are loaded.

When to Use It

• When you need to automatically instantiate essential objects (e.g., managers, global controllers) during game loading or when entering Play Mode, ensuring consistency across all scenes.
• For large projects where you want to centralize and simplify scene setup by ensuring base objects are always present without manual intervention.

When Not to Use It

• If the prefab needs to be instantiated on-demand based on user interactions (e.g., spawning enemies or items during gameplay).
• When prefabs need to be instantiated with specific runtime data that cannot be pre-configured in a ScriptableObject.
