AdMob - how to display ads on different scenes?

Hello there,

I am implementing AdMob into my game now and I want to display an Interstitial ad only in specific scenes.

First thing - I want to display an Interstitial ad when the player will click "Quit" button in Main Menu. There will pop up a question with answers Yes/No and an Interstitial ad above that question.

Second thing - I want to display also an Interstitial ad, but this time in the High Scores scene.

How can I do that? I have added this in the script applied to High Scores scene, but nothing shows up:

Code (CSharp):

1.     void Start()
2.     {
3.         RequestInterstitial();
4.     }

My 3 scenes:

1. Main Menu:



2. Actual game:



3. High Scores:



The script looks like that, it's the demo script form the google admob plugin (I have commented out test buttons):

Code (CSharp):

1. using System;
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using GoogleMobileAds;
4. using GoogleMobileAds.Api;
5.  
6. // Example script showing how to invoke the Google Mobile Ads Unity plugin.
7. public class GoogleMobileAdsDemoScript1 : MonoBehaviour
8. {
9.  
10.     private BannerView bannerView;
11.     private InterstitialAd interstitial;
12.  
13.  
14.     //void OnGUI()
15.     //{
16.     //    // Puts some basic buttons onto the screen.
17.     //    GUI.skin.button.fontSize = (int)(0.05f * Screen.height);
18.  
19.     //    Rect requestBannerRect = new Rect(0.1f * Screen.width, 0.05f * Screen.height,
20.     //                               0.8f * Screen.width, 0.1f * Screen.height);
21.     //    if (GUI.Button(requestBannerRect, "Request Banner"))
22.     //    {
23.     //        RequestBanner();
24.     //    }
25.  
26.     //    Rect showBannerRect = new Rect(0.1f * Screen.width, 0.175f * Screen.height,
27.     //                                   0.8f * Screen.width, 0.1f * Screen.height);
28.     //    if (GUI.Button(showBannerRect, "Show Banner"))
29.     //    {
30.     //        bannerView.Show();
31.     //    }
32.  
33.     //    Rect hideBannerRect = new Rect(0.1f * Screen.width, 0.3f * Screen.height,
34.     //                                   0.8f * Screen.width, 0.1f * Screen.height);
35.     //    if (GUI.Button(hideBannerRect, "Hide Banner"))
36.     //    {
37.     //        bannerView.Hide();
38.     //    }

42.     //    if (GUI.Button(destroyBannerRect, "Destroy Banner"))
43.     //    {
44.     //        bannerView.Destroy();
45.     //    }

48.     //                                            0.8f * Screen.width, 0.1f * Screen.height);
49.     //    if (GUI.Button(requestInterstitialRect, "Request Interstitial"))
50.     //    {
51.     //        RequestInterstitial();
52.     //    }
53.

I guess you missed this part of your script, where the script tries to get an ad, but you did not put in any:

Code (CSharp):

1. #if UNITY_EDITOR
2.         string adUnitId = "unused";
3. #elif UNITY_ANDROID
4.             string adUnitId = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
5. #elif UNITY_IPHONE
6.             string adUnitId = "INSERT_IOS_INTERSTITIAL_AD_UNIT_ID_HERE";
7. #else
8.             string adUnitId = "unexpected_platform";
9. #endif

 

Heh, I've just hid my ads ID by typing "xxxx..." just in case. But I've just fixed the whole problem from my first post by mixing ad script with main menu buttons etc., so on the start I'm requesting ads and showing them after clicking High Scores from main menu and then hiding and destroying.

But now I have another problem - when fullscreen ad shows up and when you clikc "x" to close it, then you can see only black screen and can't do anything.

 

Maybe you can provide a screenshot or something of your scene and hirarchy view, so we know, if the ad script is disabling more than just itself or if there is still something on the adscript that is not destroyed?

 

Thank you for replying, it's all good now, I have changed the moment when that ad shows up and now it's fine and even without fps drop.
