Sir, do you know about new `Object.InstantiateAsync` in unity 6

[IAFahim]

I just found out from here: https://github.com/keijiro/InstantiateAsyncTest?tab=readme-ov-file

Prewarm for pooling can become really powerful.

[aprius]

Yeah it's a great API, I tested it a while back, it's a testament to the async era. You can now use it as an optimization technique for generating heavy objects without having to worry too much about when they're generated like dynamically loading maps...

[aprius]

Yaa, using it in prewarm pool will be really effective and of course it also comes with RequestAsync

[IAFahim]

Of course you had checked it before 🥲 and I thought I have a new information. But I don't understand how you could have known about it because its only available on unity 6.1

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/Object.InstantiateAsync.html

And about RequestAsync it's there on the documents on unity site(I might not know how to look that good)

[aprius]

No, It was added since unity 2022.3.20

[IAFahim]

Ehh bad unity website documentation design.

Thank you Sir for your guidance. You always know a lot, and helpful.

[aprius]

I just tried brenchmarking between Instantiate and InstantiateAsync but maybe this visual explanation is too obvious here. And there is no problem if calling Request or Return while PrewarmAsync is not completed

[aprius]

    public GameObject prefab;

    private void Start()
    {
        prefab.PrewarmAsync(10, 10).Forget();
    }

[IAFahim]

Thank you for explanation, Sir.

    public GameObject prefab;

    private void Start()
    {
        prefab.PrewarmAsync(10, 10).Forget();
    }

Isn't the second parameters in PrewarmAsync a CancellationToken in this repo. Are a you trying out a new method?

[aprius]

The prewarm method previously available for IAsyncObjectPool with the existing async implementations will be no different, the new Prewarm method added for SharedGameObjectPool and GameObjectPool which implements the utility APIs for GameObject

[aprius]

Maybe I'll add CancellationToken to it too
