Static Array in Abstract - Load Once?

[Halsafar]

Alright, I have an abstract class MoveableObject, within it contains a static array type D3DVECTOR and a static function to generate the lookup table for 3d movement.

The array is static, so that means even if 1 million units where created using the class MoveableObject, there would still be only 1 instance of the static array?

MoveableObject <-- Human
MoveableObject <-- Tank

Still only 1 instance of the static D3DVECTOR?


Edit:

What about a static class instance?
I have a static struct, and a static array it must declared:
MoveableObject::UV_TABLE MoveableObject::VectorCircle[360];
Is this correct?

That's correct.

What about a static class instance?

What's that? You mean a file-level object of a class declared with the static keyword?

Yah, for example:

#include <clsSfxEngine.hpp>

class MoveableObject
{
protected:
static SfxEngine SFX;
};

class Human : public MoveableObject
{
};

//in a function
Human Player;

Player.SFX.Play();

Now no matter how many millions of objects need to use that instance of the sfx engine, it will still be only one?

Yes, there will be only one.
