Title: Best practices for UI
Post by: Excal on May 05, 2014, 11:49:38 PM

Is there any performance hit in additively loading a scene that contains the game's UI elements versus instantiating a prefab that contains the UI?

What's the best practice for isolating the UI from the rest of the game and including it?

Instantiating it should be faster simply because it doesn't involve loading a new scene.

Personally I use different prefabs. I create a UI, save it as a prefab. Anything that needs to be instantiated dynamically, like scoreboard items, ability icons, etc -- are individual prefabs of their own.
