Any way to "Reset" the scene?

Hey, all.

My current project allows the user to restart the game from the current level if they so wish. The way I expected to do this was to just re-call the scene again, like so:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.         Application.LoadLevel(0);
3.  

but unfortunately, this doesn't seem to reset all the variables which I set up in the Awake and Start functions.

It's a bit annoying, as there are loads of them (it's quite a complex game), so I really wanted to be able to just use the above code to reset the game as though I'd literally just loaded it.

Anyone have any ideas how to do this?

Cheers,

SB

 

That will in fact reset the scene, except for two things: any use of DontDestroyOnLoad, and any use of static variables. You could work around the static variable thing by initializing them in Awake to a value set from a non-static variable.

Code (csharp):

1. static var foo : int;
2. private var fooInit = 5;
3.  
4. function Awake () {
5.    foo = fooInit;
6. }

You can also catch the "OnLevelWasLoaded" event to re-initialize objects/variables.

 

I just ran into this same issue myself, and found that a simpler version of the above is:

Code (csharp):

1. static var bWhatever : boolean;
2. static var foo : int;
3.  
4. function Awake() {
5.     //initialize static variables
6.     bWhatever = false;
7.     foo = 5;
8. }

 

I always use this simple script

but I guess that does not help you with the variables.

 

this was worked for me

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. if (GUI.Button(Rect(310,180,200,30), "Restart Level"))
3. {
4.        
5.      Application.LoadLevel (Application.loadedLevelName);
6.    
7. }
8.  
9.  
10.  

 

Cheers Kiran, simple yet effective!

UnityEngine.Application.LoadLevel is obsolete, use SceneManager.LoadScene:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
2. ...
3. SceneManager.LoadScene("Scene_Name");

 

Application.LoadLevel is now obsolete. The "proper" way to replicate this would be:

Code (CSharp):

1. SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name);

 

@S7ARBVCK,
all this looks like your game state and game logic spread over the many objects. Now you have to have some kind of "manager" for controlling their states, or create something like GameState class and move all logic (and even maybe states) there.

 

I know this is an old topic, but for the ones who are still looking for the solution. Had the same problem today; tried every scenemanger function there was. Turned out to be I didn't reset my health level to max and score to 0 before reloading the level.

 

Same thing here, none of the solutions above worked.
I made a very complicated way to calculate scores, and I just wanted a simple "reset everything" even if I have to call another scene.

 

I tried it all and none worked
