Roll a ball and quiz (pause scene, load new and resume scene)

Hello Guys,

First I am very new to Unity and Csharp scripting. But for this question I have searched google, forums and looked into tutorials but not finding the right way to handle it. I hope this is the right thread

Well basically I am using the Roll a ball tutorial and I am making a simple quiz game on top.

When the ball hits 3 objects, I load the quiz scene and ask a question. On answering the question, the game should resume and if the answer is correct it should add it to the count value.

Problem. On hitting the 3 objects I load the scene but on answering the question , when I return the game won't resume and it stays there.

What I have done so far.
My first approach LoadScene

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (concount == 3)
{
if (qcallcount <= 2)
{
concount = 0;
qcallcount = +1;
Time.timeScale = 0;
SetScene();
}
}

// Run the 'SetCountText()' function (see below)
SetCountText();
}
}
public void AddCount(int points)
{
count = +points;
SetCountText();
}

private static void SetScene()
{
SceneManager.LoadScene("Questions");
}

In my questions gamecontroller

public void AnswerButtonClicked(bool isCorrect)
{
if (isCorrect)
{
playerScore += currentRoundData.pointsAddedForCorrectAnswer;
questionIndex++;
ReturnToGame();
}

}
public void ReturnToGame()
{
SceneManager.LoadScene ("Roll-a-ball")
}

This is loading 2 instances of the Roll a ball

2nd Approach LoadScene Additive

In my ontriggerenter I load the questions with LoadScene Additive
Then I set my question display panel to false in the ReturnToGame()
questionDisplay.SetActive(false);

But this results in error "To many event systems , not supported " and the game does not resume and it is always paused

3rd Approach UnloadScene

I did Unload my scene (questions) but the game does not progress and the data is also lost.

PS: I set Time.timescale = 1; in fixed update so that I can resume the game, I also tried Time.timescale = 1 in update, but no success.

Please guys need your help in understanding how I can achieve this ?


I need to collect x objects, then pop a question, Now once user answers it I have to return to roll the ball and continue. I keep doing this till all objects are cleared or if all questions are completed.
I need to track the right answers and add to users score.

 

If the purpose of the new scene is just for a quiz, you can look up the ui Canvas and activate the quiz on the specified gameobject and pause the main game, there is no need to hop between scenes and doing this you can resume with the game without having to load to other scenes

 

Thanks Rob, but how can I resume the game, I did Time.timescale =1 in fixed update , should i do that in the update function?
Also when you say activate the quiz, I think you mean activate the UI panel right? And have all the persistant data in the game itself?

 

if you read the official Unity documentation it states this
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Time-timeScale.html

Plus there is no need to constantly set the timescale to 1 so you should do this once by calling a function once, (On a button click when the quiz is completed, or on a pause icon to unpause the game)

Code (CSharp):

1. public void UnpauseGame()
2. {
3. Time.TimeScale = 1;
4. }
