Class SceneObjectCache

Namespace

WitShells.DesignPatterns.Core

A lightweight, non-singleton cache for scene objects.

• Finds the first object of type T in the scene using Unity's FindFirstObjectByType.
• Caches the found instance per-type to avoid repeated scene searches.
• If the cached object gets destroyed or is missing, the cache re-finds it on the next access.

Use this when multiple systems need access to a shared scene object without forcing a Singleton pattern.

Clear()

Clears all cached entries.

Type Parameters

T

Invalidate<T>()

Removes the cached entry for T, if any.

public static void Invalidate<T>() where T : UnityEngine.Object

Type Parameters

T

SweepDestroyed()

Sweeps the cache and removes entries whose targets have been destroyed.

public static void SweepDestroyed()

TryGet<T>(out T)

Tries to get a cached/found instance of T.

public static bool TryGet<T>(out T instance) where T : UnityEngine.Object

Parameters

instance T

Returns

bool
