# Get

> Get an instance from the pool. If the pool is empty then a new instance will be created.

## Definition

* **Type:** Method
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine.Pool](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/pool.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule

## Get()

Get an instance from the pool. If the pool is empty then a new instance will be created.

```csharp
public static TCollection Get()
```

### Returns

| Type | Description                                             |
| ---- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| T    | A pooled object or a new instance if the pool is empty. |

### Examples

```csharp
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Pool;

// This example shows how both version of Get could be used to simplify a line of points.
public class Simplify2DLine
{
    public List<Vector2> SimplifyLine(Vector2[] points)
    {
        // This version will only be returned to the pool if we call Release on it.
        var simplifiedPoints = CollectionPool<List<Vector2>, Vector2>.Get();

        // Copy the points into a temp list so we can pass them into the Simplify method
        // When the pooled object leaves the scope it will be Disposed and returned to the pool automatically.
        // This version is ideal for working with temporary lists.
        using (CollectionPool<List<Vector2>, Vector2>.Get(out List<Vector2> tempList))
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < points.Length; ++i)
            {
                tempList.Add(points[i]);
            }

            LineUtility.Simplify(tempList, 1.5f, simplifiedPoints);
        }
        return simplifiedPoints;
    }
}
```

## Get(T)

Returns a PooledObject that will automatically return the instance to the pool when it is disposed.

```csharp
public static PooledObject<TCollection> Get(out TCollection value)
```

### Parameters

**** (T): Out parameter that will contain a reference to an instance from the pool.

### Returns

| Type                                                                                  | Description                                                                                      |
