Don't destroy on load

Hello,
I actually had the problem if my player dies my persistent GameMaster script doesn't find his UI to display the health. My thinking was to add these couple lines of code to my canvas to prevent it from destroying when my scene gets loaded, when the player dies.

Code (CSharp):

1.     private static DontDestroyOnLoad instance;
2.  
3.     void Awake()
4.     {
5.         if(instance == null)
6.         {
7.             instance = this;
8.             DontDestroyOnLoad(instance);
9.         }
10.         else
11.         {
12.             Destroy(gameObject);
13.         }
14.     }

Do it get issues with code later? Or is there a more comfortable way to do it?

 

That is a singleton with Scene persistance. If that is what you want, it looks fine. But if you go that route, you will not be able to have two or more player instances in the same scene.

Use a persistant singleton class!
