Invoke not working on second scene load

Hello!

At the beginning of my scene, I use Invoke to delay adding the "Player" object until an animation is complete.

This seems to work fine, but if I unload the scene with the Player object and then go back in, the Invoke call doesn't seem to work.

Here's the particular code:

Code (csharp):

1. var playerPrefab : GameObject;
2.  
3.  
4. function Start () {
5.     Invoke("addPlayer", 1);
6.    
7. }
8.  
9. function addPlayer(){
10.    
11.     var cam = GameObject.FindWithTag("MainCamera");
12.     var newplayer = Instantiate(playerPrefab, transform.position, transform.rotation);
13.     cam.SendMessage("setTarget", newplayer);
14.     Destroy(gameObject);
15. }
16.  

I also have tried using "Awake" instead of "Start"

IsInvoking("addPlayer") returns true on all times... both when it works and when it doesn't work.

Am I not using Invoke correctly? What would be a better way of doing this?

 

I am stupid! I just realized that the way I'm "unloading" my game is in the Pause menu. When the pause menu is open, Time.timeScale is set to 0. I never fix that (though I guess I assumed that it would reset when I load a new scene... it does not).

Setting Time.timeScale back to 1 when I quit to the menu fixes things.

Oh damn it! I ran into the same problem. Thank you for posting your solution to this!

 

I have a very similar problem: if I reload a scene from my pause menu, all the InvokeRepeating commands I already called won't stop. Setting Time.deltaTime = 1 doesn't work either...

 

Thank you sooo much! I never would have found that out. You seriously made my day. Exact same issue. Thanks for the solution!!

 

Haha, same issue here, that was a tricky one! Thanks!

 

I had the same problem with coroutine. Thanks!

 

Hello, i have the same problem, i still have Time.timeScale = 1

Any help?

 

Haha, thank you for pointing our little mistake

 

You are my saviour.
