EditorSceneManager.OpenScene path requirements

Hi,

The docs on SceneManager.LoadScene (and its suggested editor counterpart EditorSceneManager.OpenScene) are a bit sparse in terms of exactly what's taken into account when attempting to load a scene:

http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadScene.html

I'm getting the error "Cannot open scene with path..." when attempting to load a scene additively. Regardless of how I configure the Build Settings or the path I'm passing in to the call.

I'm stripping the ".unity" extension as recommended in the docs; I've tried passing in fully qualified paths ("D:\..."), project-qualified paths ("Assets\...") and I've tried mimicking the format in Build Settings("Scenes\...") but can't get it to load.

Any insight into the requirements (file in build settings, path requirements, etc) would be much appreciated - this is blocking our use of additive scenes currently.

 

After more experimentation, EditorSceneManager.OpenScene (I can't speak for the SceneManager yet) requires a fully-qualified path including the .unity extension which directly contravenes the docs.

In order to construct this from a Scene.path variable you'll need to do something like:

Code (CSharp):

1. EditorSceneManager.OpenScene(Application.dataPath + "/" + myScenePath.Substring(myScenePath.IndexOf("Scenes")), OpenSceneMode.Additive);

 

Sorry for the confusion. Just check the document, we give a simple example in this page http://docs.unity3d.com/540/Documen...eManagement.EditorSceneManager.OpenScene.html

But I totally agree we should have some code snippet to demonstrate how to use them.

Btw: Application.dataPath just stands for "<path to project folder>/Assets" in the editor.

 

Is there an easy way to get a path to a scene from SceneAsset? SceneAsset.path is not there like one would expect

 

If you know the name of the scene one option is running over your Asset data, but it excludes scenes that could be in the resources folder of plugins. If you know the name of the scene and this scene is set up to be build another option is to compare the name with the scene path references in EditorBuildSettingsScene.GetActiveSceneList()
