Loading Level after 3 seconds not working

I've got a problem where I Invoke a level to load after 3 seconds and it's not working. I've also tried using an IEnumerator and it doesn't work anymore either. Anyone no why? I've used IEnumerator for the past 2 years and now it just doesn't work.

Here's my two scripts

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. private int num = 3;
3.  
4.  
5.    IEnumerator Wait()
6.    {
7.      yield return new WaitForSeconds (num);
8.      Application.LoadLevel (1);
9.      }
10.  
11.    void Start()
12.    {
13.      StartCoroutine (Wait());
14.    }
15.  

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. void Start ()
3.   {
4.   Invoke("Load", 3);
5.    }
6.  
7.   void Load()
8.   {
9.   Application.LoadLevel("LevelOne");
10.   }
11.  
12.  

Thanks. I'm also on Unity 5.2.1f1

 

Does your level not load at all. or is it loading immediately ?

If it does not load at all, it could be because you are setting Time.timeScale to 0 before loading the level.

 

On your first script where you set num = 3, I would pass it through to the function for instance;

Code (CSharp):

1. IEnumerator Wait(int num)
2.    {
3.      yield return new WaitForSeconds (num);
4.      Application.LoadLevel (1);
5.      }
6.  
7.    void Start()
8.    {
9.      StartCoroutine (Wait(3));
10.    }

You also need to make sure in your build settings you have your level 1 in it.

 

Don't have a Time.timeScale in this scene or the next one.

Tried that, didn't work. also the level that is to be loaded is 1.

 

Application.loadlevel is obsolete in unity 5.3. You need to use

SceneManager.LoadScene

EDIT: just read you are using 5.2, sorry

 

OK, I figured it out. You now have to have Time.timeScale = 1; in the start function to get IEnumerator or the WaitForSeconds to work now.

 

Personally, I don't have to "Time.timeScale = 1;" when using yield or IEnumerator.
I'm using Unity 5.2.2. Maybe it's a 5.2.1 bug of some sort?

 

WaitForSeconds is affected by Time.timeScale, you can always create your own timescale independent yield instruction such as in this answers thread: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/301868/yield-waitforseconds-outside-of-timescale.html

It could be, I just don't want to update Unity while in the middle of a project.

Thanks.
