Question How to make DontDestroyOnLoad stop duplicating game objects!

I am using a DontDestroyOnLoad Script for seamless music in between scenes and 2 buttons (One too set.active and one to deactivate). When I deactivate the music game object and then go back the the home scene a new music object is created. Is there a way to stop this? Any help is welcome.
Thanks!

DontDestroyOnLoad Script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class Music : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.      void Awake()
8.     {
9.         GameObject[] objs = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Music");
10.         if (objs.Length > 1)
11.             Destroy(this.gameObject);
12.         DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject);
13.     }
14. }
15.  

 

FindObjectsWithTag will not find objects set to DontDestroyOnLoad as they are in their own special scene.

It sounds like you want a singleton. Do this and use Music.Instance to access the methods you want to use.

Code (CSharp):

1. public class Music : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     public static Music Instance;
4.  
5.     void Awake()
6.     {
7.         if(Instance == null)
8.         {
9.             Instance = this;
10.             return;
11.         }
12.  
13.         Destroy(gameObject);
14.     }
15. }

 

Thanks for replying! This worked! However this brought up another problem. If I set the object as not active and then go the the next scene and then come back and try to set it active it says game object missing.
