SceneManager.LoadScene not working.

I've read all the current threads about this one. I'm simply trying to switch to the next scene in my game with this script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
3. using System.Collections;
4.  
5. public class MenuManager : MonoBehaviour {
6.     public void NewGame () {
7.         SceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadScene(1);
8. }
9. }

but I keep on getting error messages saying:

All the other threads I read said that you have to have that SceneManagement namespace included to switch scenes, but even when I take it out the script doesn't work. When I do take it out it says:

It was one of the other threads that I read that said that I had to have 'SceneManagement' before 'SceneManager' in this line. But even if I try to take 'SceneManagement' out here it just targets 'SceneManager' instead.

I also realize that some people prefer to load their scenes using the scene's string name, but I just want to load my scene with its build index number, plain and simple. I'm wanting to use this script so I can make a menu button and assign it to this function, so that when I click it the script runs and directs the player to the next scene. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

 

Since you imported the SceneManagement namespace, you don't specify SceneManagement when using SceneManager, since otherwise what you're writing is the equivalent of SceneManagement.SceneManagement.SceneManager. If you want to write out SceneManagement every time, then you wouldn't import that namespace.

Good to know. I tried taking namespace off and leaving the SceneManagement on before the SceneManager though, and my script still gets an error saying that SceneManagement doesn't exist in the current context.

 

Because you'd need to specify UnityEngine.SceneManagement.

Eric means without the import you would literally have to type:

UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadScene(1);

 

Like this?

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class MenuManager : MonoBehaviour {
5.     public void NewGame () {
6. UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadScene (1);
7. }
8. }

I still get the error response about SceneManagement not being included in the UnityEngine namespace. I'm sorry about my misunderstanding, I'm more used to JavaScript and I guess namespaces just haven't clicked with me yet.

 

Zaco, I looked and this might be an issue with which version of Unity you are using. This was added in the 5.3 update. So, if you are using an older version, you would use Application.LoadLevel().

I haven't actually upgraded mine to 5.3, so I can't test or mess around with that atm. See if you are using the right call for the right version.

Check this link for comments on it.

 

Add below code on top of your script.
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

 

Ok, this is exactly what I needed, thank you so much. Also, sorry for my late reply. It was kind of weird because I even went into the Check For Updates menu in Unity and it claimed that I was up to date with 5.2.1 or something like that. I had to look on Unity's website myself to find it. My code works perfectly now. Thanks again for your help.

 

Has it changed again? What is it now? Neither (Application.LoadLevel1); or ceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadScene(l); work for me. I get told to use SceneManagement, then I do and then Im told Assets/Standard Assets/Utility/TimedObjectActivator.cs(85,13): error CS0103: The name `SceneManagement' does not exist in the current context.

Other peoples answers are very vague too. Know what's up?

EDIT: NVM, fixed it.

Code (csharp):

1. SceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadScene(1);

should be

Code (CSharp):

1. SceneManager.LoadScene(1);

for Error: Assets/Standard Assets/Utility/TimedObjectActivator.cs(85,13): error CS0103: The name `SceneManagement' does not exist in the current context.

 

I have a problem about this, can you help me?

 

What is the problem?

 

I had the same problem. Fixed it, so now it works using the name of the scene! yey!
Here is my ugly code:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class House : MonoBehaviour {

public Text houseText;

void Start()
{
houseText.gameObject.SetActive(false);
}

private void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D other)
{
if (other.CompareTag("Player"))
{
Debug.Log("Player is still touching");
houseText.gameObject.SetActive(true);

if (Input.GetKeyDown("e"))
{
SceneManager.LoadScene("InsidePotatoHouse");
}
}
}
private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{
if (other.CompareTag("Player"))
{
Debug.Log("Player Entered");
houseText.gameObject.SetActive(true);
}
}
private void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D other)
{
if (other.CompareTag("Player"))
{
houseText.gameObject.SetActive(false);
Debug.Log("Player Left");
}
}
}

 

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
public class SceneManager : MonoBehaviour
{
public int Buildindex;

public void Restart()
{//Restart current scene

SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name);


}
void Levelselect()
{

}


}


please help

 

i know this is very old but you names your class the same thing as scenemanager.

 

This may be an old thread, but I found the fix was to call LoadScene() during an Update() call rather than a different thread.
