[Resolved] DontDestroyOnLoad question

Say I have a script attached to game object, and in "void Awake()" I do "DontDestroyOnLoad(GetComponent<Transform>().gameObject);". When a new scene is loaded after that, are any functions like the Start() function ever called again in that script? Or are one-time functions like the Start() function only ever called once when an object and its components are first loaded?

If you know of a function that is called when a new scene is loaded, but not only when an object itself is loaded for the first time, please let me know, thanks

 

Awake() and Start() are called in the first scene where that object exists. Not in subsequent scenes where the object is already loaded (and preserved due to DontDestroyOnLoad).

Also, why do this:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. DontDestroyOnLoad(GetComponent<Transform>().gameObject);
3.  

when you can do this:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
3.  

 

Try this to watch for scene change: http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnLevelWasLoaded.html

 

I thought "gameObject" was deprecated in newer versions.

Isn't there any other function other than Awake() and Start() that I can use for what I am looking for though?

 

Thanks

 

Did you change your post? Feels like you're asking a different question now?

 

Same question.

I did change the way I worded one sentence in the second paragraph of the first post immediately after I posted, but unless you loaded the page for the post less than 20 seconds after it was posted you wouldn't have noticed it.
