SCRIPT REQ: Transition from one scene to another

At the moment you can only load levels in a player not in the editor.

In the Build Player ... dialog you have to add multiple scenes.
The first scene will be loaded when the player starts up.
In this scene you add the following script to any object.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. // This will simply load the first level after 5 seconds
3. yield new WaitForSeconds (5);
4. Application.loadedLevel = 0;
5.  

This will work only in the player at the moment, which makes it a bit hard to use and test.

I completely agree the interface for this is quirky at the moment. It will be simplified and we will make it so you can load levels in the editor as well.
I will also add a fadeout while loading the level as you suggested.

I don't think that will happen before unity 1.0 though.

 

Take your splashscreen graphics which is 432x163 big.
Add a border around it, so that the image becomes 512x256.
Make sure that the actual splash screen graphic is centered.

This should look as you expect it to.
Write me a mail if it doesn't.

 

The current behaviour is that everything in the first scene always stays.
I totally agree it's a bitch to setup right now. I will change the interface to be much more intuitive for this after 1.0.

For now, you will want to make a startup scene which contains only one game object with a script that loads the next level. Also make sure there is no camera in the first scene.

On top of this there is a bug which makes your coroutine stop execution when loading a new scene. So you probably can't use coroutines for loading several scenes after each other.
Use Update and Awake instead

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. function Update () {
3.    if (Input.GetKeyDown ("space"))
4.    {
5.       Application.loadedLevel = 1;
6.    }
7. }
8. function Awake () {
9.    Application.loadedLevel = 0;
10. }
11.
