Singleton behavior

To easily create a singleton have your script extend SingletonBehavior<T> where T will be the name of the class.

public class GameManager : SingletonBehavior<GameManager> {

Every SingletonBehavior will have a static Instance property to access your singleton from anywhere. You will have access to all public variables, properties, and methods of that class.

GameManager.Instance.MyMethod();

SingletonBehavior uses the MonoBehavior Awake() Unity message to create the instance so you will have to override and call its base to properly use the Awake method in your script.

protected override void Awake() {
	base.Awake()
	
	//Your code here...
}
