Question Reloading scene using addressables

Hi,

Scene Management in the game is amazing, but I have a question, lets say that I want to reload scene.
Logically there's functionality to do this, so let's create method for this

Code (CSharp):

1. private void ReloadLocationl()
2. {
3.     LoadLocation(currentlyLoadedScene, false);
4. }

We simply load currently loaded location - genius!

In theory it should work, but in practice I get an error:

Attempting to load AssetReference Scene that has already been loaded

On line

sceneToLoad.SceneReference.LoadSceneAsync(LoadSceneMode.Additive, true, 0)

Ok, yeah, that makes sense, but... How do I reload existing scene then?

In regular scene it should work, but in addressables it doesn't. Is there a way of doing it?

Thanks!

 

Reload currently loaded existing scene or load an existing scene which is not loaded yet? I can't really understand you point of question. Sorry, but please rephrase.

 

Reload currently loaded existing scene

 

You can first use this to unload scenes
https://github.com/UnityTechnologie...s/Scripts/SceneManagement/SceneLoader.cs#L135

and then this to load the scene
https://github.com/UnityTechnologie...ts/Scripts/SceneManagement/SceneLoader.cs#L81

This would technically reload the currently loaded scene without an error.

But why you want to do that. Do you want to apply the logic in you own project (just like me) or understand something?

 

LoadLocation

already does

UnloadPreviousScene

first and only then loads scene, that's basically what I do and why I get an error.

To your questing why - this project is really something, that's basically answer to my prayers about architecture, because previously I was using singletons everywhere, but this project has taught me some great things, like, Audio Manager, Scene Management, Event Channels, Addressables, etc. Big thanks to all of Unity team!
So, yes, from now on I do same architecture for my projects.

 

Yes that true. And not only thanks to Unity team but to the while community (including you and me) also. We all have worked hard to reach here and develop these amazing systems. I have studied and implemented them in my project also. You are welcome too to contribute to this project.

 

@Amel-Unity, @cirocontinisio could you please take a look?

 

I am sorry @stroibot, without knowing how exactly the error is produced, it is hard to say anything about it. I thought that it was just a warning, but I tried it myself today and it was really giving an error when we try to load a location which is currently loaded. This is something not required in our game (as far as I think), but this can be easily fixed. I will open a PR with the fix.
Thanks @stroibot

Also @cirocontinisio, you know that I am unable to pull the updates in git, so if I open a PR with this latest commit (First Frame Error check of yours)(https://github.com/HarshNarayanJha/open-project-1/commit/02d89ce4563083cdaaa842c16aeee8efd97bd293), will that be OK. As I know it is stated in the contribution guidelines that we should pull the latest changes from upstream before opening a PR (I am 123 commits behind).
So I just wanted to ask if that OK or I should do something else.
Also, Now I can see a Pull Upstream button on the Github Web UI. It does what it states?
Thanks.

 

Thank you, it's just I know how to do this traditionally, but not using addressables.

 

It's Ok, I initially tried to really unload and load the scene using Addressables, but at last failed into just silently returning, and really that is not and issue in our game, as we are never reloading currently loaded scene in any scenario.

And on a side note, please take a look at this: https://forum.unity.com/threads/debug-system.1151783/

Thanks.
