Singeton + enum + DontDestroyOnLoad = problem

Hello

I have problem with my code.

I have the Dungeon component which creates my map. When player finds portal on this map this component loads scene once again with different map.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public enum DungeonOrder{
3.     NewDungeon,
4.     GoWest,
5.     GoNorth,
6.     GoEast,
7.     GoSouth
8. };
9.  
10. public class Dungeon : MonoSingleton<Dungeon>
11. {
12.  
13.     public DungeonOrder order = DungeonOrder.NewDungeon;
14.  
15.    
16.     void Awake()
17.     {
18.        
19.         if(instance == null)
20.         {
21.             instance = this;
22.             DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject);
23.  
24.         }
25.         else
26.             DestroyImmediate(this.gameObject);
27.        
28.     switch (order)
29.         {
30.             case DungeonOrder.NewDungeon:
31.            
32.                     CreateNewDungeon();
33.                     break;
34.            
35.             case DungeonOrder.GoEast:
36.                
37.                     GoEast();
38.                     break;
39.            
40.             case DungeonOrder.GoWest:
41.                
42.                     GoWest();
43.                     break;
44.            
45.             case DungeonOrder.GoNorth:
46.                
47.                     GoNorth();
48.                     break;
49.            
50.             case DungeonOrder.GoSouth:
51.                
52.                     GoSouth();
53.                     break;
54.            
55.             default:
56.                     CreateNewDungeon();
57.                     break;
58.         }
59.        
60.        
61.     }
62.  
63. // this function is called by portals.. parameter is like GoEast etc.
64.     public void GameEvent(DungeonOrder o)
65.     {
66.         order = o;
67.         nextMap(); // <-- Application.LoadLevel(Application.loadedLevel);
68.     }
69.  
70. }
71.  
72.  

My problem: first map loads with no problems(i think) but when stage loads once again order variable still is equal to NewDungeon. it should be GoWest or GoNorth..etc.

Other variables from Dungeon object don't change. I have no other reference to this variable... I have no idea...


thank you for help

 

It's hard to work out without seeing the entire code, as you have left out some important parts.

Also it is recommended that you use Destroy rather than DestroyImmediate which should only be used in editor scripts.
http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Object.DestroyImmediate.html

 

Thank you for tip about Destroy.

I declare order variable as static and it looks ok right now.. any idea why this variable was set to default value durning re-load of scene?

 

A guess...

When you reload the scene, does another Dungeon object get loaded? If it is reloaded, it will destroy itself on Awake() because a singleton instance already exists, but maybe it also goes through the switch statement thus running CreateNewDungeon()? This seems a little strange because you have DestroyImmediate() running but it may finish the Awake() anyways.

EDIT: Try only running the switch statement if (instance == null) was true, so we are keeping the instance, so we should actually go through the switch.
