How can i load a specific scene ?

I have a scene for menu and a scene for game.
When i press start i want to load the game scene.
When i die i want to load the menu scene.
How can i do that ?
My scenes are named "p" and "Menu".
I know that if i write SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex);
it will load the current scene over and over again but i dont want that,i want to switch between scenes how i like.

 

Hello, i'm too newbie, but i will try to help you.
You can wrrite code like that: (c# script)

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
3.  
4. public void loadlevel(string level)
5. {
6. SceneManager.LoadScene(level);
7.  
8. }

and assign it to empty object, then assign it (the object with script) to button on click, and put a name of the scene You want to load, when You will click the button, it will load the scene You want.

Also if You want to change scene to gameover, etc. You can use something like that

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
3.  
4. if (life == 0)
5. {
6. SceneManager.LoadScene("gameover");
7.  
8. }

If You don't understand something, feel free to ask question, i will try to help.

 

Thx it worked.How can i put a scene to run first before the other ? because when i press play,they just run both.

 

Hello, i'm glad i could help, idk if i understand it, but if you mean to select which scene should run first at game.
You go to File---> Build Settings ---> You put first main menu scene, then you put a other scene, etc. And the main menu should be the first scene you see (atleast i think it work like that).

Also you can deactivate game objects by :
gameObject.SetActive

 

there should be a function to activate and deactivate some scenes, so the scene loads while you're in another scene or you can unload it, if you don't need it.
Should look like this:

SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync to load the Scene in the background

SceneManager.UnloadScene to unload a scene

SceneManager.SetActiveScene to switch between scenes

 

Uhh excuse me, but how do you load a scene when you press a button?

I am still learning as well but;

In your main screen create a Empty Game Object
Attached a C# Script to it

In the script place;

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
2.  
3. public class ScreenChange : MonoBehavior {
4.  
5.      public static ScreenChange instance;
6.    
7.      void Awake() {
8.           MakeSingleton();
9.      }
10.  
11.      void MakeSingleton() {
12.           if(instance !=null) {
13.                destroy(gameObject);
14.           } else {
15.                instance = this;
16.                DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
17.           }
18.      }
19.  
20.      public void GoToGameplay() {
21.           SceneManager.LoadScene("SceneName")
22.      }
23.  
24. }
25.  
26.  

Once that is in add to your button an action on click and attached the GameObject. Then Select the GoToGameplay as the action.

Still learning so please forgive me if the explanation isn't correct (believe it is), or can be done more effectively.

 

you can use:

Code (CSharp):

1. SceneManager.LoadScene("SceneName")

SceneManager.LoadScene("SceneName")
but be sure that your scene is added in the build setting(File->Build Settings).

 

You can make a ButtonScript and attach it to your canvas or button itself if you want.

Code (CSharp):

1. public void LoadSceneButton()
2. {
3. SceneManager.LoadScene("YourSceneName");
4. }

Then click on your button and scroll down to OnClickEvent() and click the plus sign +
Drag whatever object you put the ButtonScript on into the field. Click the drop menu and select ButtonScript, and then choose the function, which in my example is LoadSceneButton().

You button will now fire the event on click. Congrats! Your button changes levels!

 

i want to ask how do you do this after a collision? (2D)

 

Hello
I am newbie can someone help me?
I have made a "RestartMenu" scene for when the player dies it occurs but how do i Load the current Scene in which player dies as i multiple scenes and i want to load from RestartMenu's

"Restart" Button

 

When the player dies, get the current index of the scene

Die()
{
...
...
currentSceneIndex = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex;
}

On "Restart" Button

SceneManager.LoadScene(currentSceneIndex);

 

i did as you said but it is giving me errors in both scripts

Assets\Scripts\MainMenu.cs(18,32): error CS0103: The name 'currentSceneIndex' does not exist in the current context
Assets\Scripts\Player.cs(23,3): error CS0103: The name 'currentSceneIndex' does not exist in the current context

 

Code (CSharp):

1. public class Player : MonoBehaviour {
2.  
3.  
4.     public int currentSceneIndex;
5.  
6. }

define it on your Player.cs

 

Thank u for concerning my problem and reply for it and also sorry for disturbing you
But i found another way before your reply.I would like to share it. Here's the code i found.

public void RestartGame() // Put it on Restart Button
{
SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name); //this will check the current scene's name and load it
}

 

No problem. I thought that your MainMenu cs was only on your Menu scene.
So the active scene would be menu scene etc.

if its working now one way or another, happy to hear !

 

I have a question. Do I put the two scenes together in the hierarchy

 

Hi, I have a question. So in my game, there are collectables that you have to collect before the time runs out, I have created a losing scene but I want to create a win scene. plz help,this is my losing scene code
using System.Collections;

public class CountDown : MonoBehaviour
{
public string LevelToLoad;
public float timer;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
timerseconds = GetComponent<Text>();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
