delay spawn

I made a particle system made to play when the player dies. But when the player dies the scene instantly reloads giving the player no time to see the particle. Is there a way to fix that.

The code

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
5.  
6. public class playerdeath : MonoBehaviour {
7.  
8.     public int Respawn;
9.     public ParticleSystem explosion;
10.     public Transform particlespawn;
11.    
12.     void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision) {
13.         if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("enemy")) {
14.             Destroy(gameObject);
15.             Instantiate(explosion, particlespawn.position, transform.rotation);
16.         }
17.     }
18.  
19.    
20. }

 

Use the Invoke function.

I cant it gives me an error

 

it says cannot convert int to string

 

I also used the wrong version of the code
here is the one

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
5.  
6. public class playerdeath : MonoBehaviour {
7.  
8.     public int Respawn;
9.     public ParticleSystem explosion;
10.     public Transform particlespawn;
11.    
12.     void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision) {
13.         if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("enemy")) {
14.             Destroy(gameObject);
15.             Instantiate(explosion, particlespawn.position, transform.rotation);
16.             Invoke(Respawn, 2f);
17.             SceneManager.LoadScene(Respawn);
18.         }
19.     }
20.  
21.    
22. }

 

You arent using the Invoke method properly. Remove the Scenemanager.LoadScene(Respawn) line.

Create a new function within that script.

void LoadSceneAgain()
{

string sceneName = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name;
SceneManager.LoadScene(sceneName,LoadSceneMode.Single);
}

Then, use Invoke right where you have it but to use it properly, you need to fill in the parameters correctly.

Invoke("LoadSceneAgain", 2f);

 

so like this

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
public class playerdeath : MonoBehaviour {
public int Respawn;
public ParticleSystem explosion;
public Transform particlespawn;

void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision) {
if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("enemy")) {
Destroy(gameObject);
Instantiate(explosion, particlespawn.position, transform.rotation);
Invoke("LoadSceneAgain", 2f);
LoadSceneAgain();
}
}
void LoadSceneAgain()
{
string sceneName = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name;
SceneManager.LoadScene(sceneName, LoadSceneMode.Single);
}
}

 

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
5.  
6. public class playerdeath : MonoBehaviour {
7.  
8.     public int Respawn;
9.     public ParticleSystem explosion;
10.     public Transform particlespawn;
11.    
12.     void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision) {
13.         if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("enemy")) {
14.             Destroy(gameObject);
15.             Instantiate(explosion, particlespawn.position, transform.rotation);
16.             Invoke("LoadSceneAgain", 2f);
17.             LoadSceneAgain();
18.         }
19.     }
20.  
21.     void LoadSceneAgain()
22.     {
23.  
24.         string sceneName = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name;
25.         SceneManager.LoadScene(sceneName, LoadSceneMode.Single);
26.     }
27.  
28.  
29. }
30.  

 

Remove the LoadSceneAgain on line 17. That will cause it to call immediately, which is the problem you are having. The Invoke is a method to call another method, but delayed. So you are already calling it within Invoke therefore no need to call it right after.

 

ok but If i remove that command the player wont respawn at all

 

Yes he will. The whole scene will restart in 2 seconds instead of immediately. You arent understanding how Invoke works. Invoke calls the function, but delayed instead of calling it immediately.

Here is what your code says:
Invoke: Restart scene in 2 seconds by INVOKING the function LoadSceneAgain
IMMEDIATELY RESTART SCENE when you call LoadSceneAgain normally.

 

buddy it does not im going to end it at that I have an entire video 30 seconds long of evidence if only I could send it

 

You can. Please do, because what @Cornysam is suggesting above should be working.

 

Ah, I see now.
Because the GameObject is destroyed, the "LoadSceneAgain" method doesn't exist anymore by the time Invoke gets to call it.

Instead of destroying the GameObject, try disabling it.

 

Thank you so much but how do I do that im very new to gamedev code wise

 

Replace

Destroy(gameObject)

with

gameObject.SetActive(false)

 

thank you
