    Hi All,

    I'm currently using Unity 5.1.1f1 Pro version and want to use SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync():
    http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync.html

    But Apparently UnityEngine does not contain SceneManagement namespace.

    I'm getting " SceneManagement does not exist in the namespace 'Unity Engine' " on the line:
    using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

    The forum posts I've stumbled upon are all about Application.LoadLevel, which is obsolete in the new version:
    http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application.LoadLevel.html

    Thanks in advance.

    Update to Unity 5.3 fixed the issue.

    Hurm. That did not fix it for me. I just updated to Unity 5.3.0f4 and I am stuck between Application.LoadLevel is obsolete and The name 'SceneManager' does not exist in the current context.

    Adding "UnityEngine.SceneManagement;" worked for me :)

    Despite adding "UnityEngine.SceneManagement;" on top, I still had to write
    "UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadScene(.......
    to get it to compile...strange.

    @Chamandana

    Application.LoadLevelAsync just call SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync, From source code:

    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. [System.Obsolete("Use SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync")]
    3. static public AsyncOperation LoadLevelAsync(int index) { return SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(index, LoadSceneMode.Single); }
    4.  
    5. [System.Obsolete("Use SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync")]
    6. static public AsyncOperation LoadLevelAsync(string levelName) { return SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(levelName, LoadSceneMode.Single); }
    7.  
    8. [System.Obsolete("Use SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync")]
    9. static public AsyncOperation LoadLevelAdditiveAsync(int index) { return SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(index, LoadSceneMode.Additive); }
    10.  
    11. [System.Obsolete("Use SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync")]
    12. static public AsyncOperation LoadLevelAdditiveAsync(string levelName) { return SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(levelName, LoadSceneMode.Additive); }
    13.

    [FIXED]
    Even after I use all these tips it still gives the same error message that we had in the first place. Any ideas on what might be going wrong?

    *EDIT* I Realised I had a bit of code in another script one wrong! So no need to respond, thanks to all who were going to though!

    if you added using scenemanagement you only have to call scenemanager.loadscene("scene01");

    [Fixed]Hi ^^ I have a problem with the libraries and my script can't read this lines:

    using UnityEngine;
    using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

    Also, i have this library that not appears in other tutorials what i see

    using System.Collections.Generic;

    This is the complete code:

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

    public class Controlador : MonoBehaviour {

    public void CambiarEscena(string nombre) {
    print("Cambiando a la escena " + nombre);
    SceneManager.LoadScene (nombre);
    }

    public void Salir() {
    print ("Saliendo del juego");
    }

    }

    I dont know where is the mistake.

    Sorry. I only have to reset the program

    Hmm, I had this as well but then I realized I have a script called "SceneManager" for my whole scene. See the problem? Writing SceneManager in the code was mistaken to be the MonoBehavior I had instead of what's in the 'using' directive. Renamed to GameManager and stuff works :)

    If you have both...
    Code (CSharp):
    1. using UnityEngine;
    2. using UnityEditor;
    They both contain a namespace for SceneManagement.
    That was causing the problem for me.

    What I did to fix it was to remove the
    Code (CSharp):
    1. using UnityEditor;
    line and use fully qualified names for Editor methods.
    Code (CSharp):
    1. UnityEditor.SceneManagement.EditorSceneManager.MarkSceneDirty(SceneManager.GetActiveScene());
    In the line above, I'm using both namespaces but only fully qualifying the UnityEditor namespace.

    This is a piece of code I used and it has the same thing along the bottom, saying that SceneManager doesn't exist in the name space. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    *EDIT* Woops, I suck at spelling :') I apologize for wasting anyone's time! I found the error :D

    using System.Collections;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using UnityEngine;
    using UnityEngine.SceneMenagement;

    public class LevelLoader : MonoBehaviour
    {

    public Animator transition;

    public float transitionTime = 1f;

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
    if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
    {
    LoadNextLevel();
    }
    }

    public void LoadNextLevel()
    {
    StartCoroutine(LoadLevel(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex + 1));
    }

    IEnumerator LoadLevel(int levelIndex)
    {

    transition.SetTrigger("Start");

    yield return new WaitForSeconds(transitionTime);

    SceneManager.LoadScene(levelIndex);
    }
    }

    Code (CSharp):
    1. using UnityEngine;
    2. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
    3. public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour {
    4.     bool GameHasEnded = false;
    5.     public float restartDelay = 1;
    6.     public void GameOver ()
    7.     {
    8.         if(GameHasEnded==false)
    9.         {
    10.             GameHasEnded = true;
    11.             Debug.Log("Game Over");
    12.             Invoke("Restart", restartDelay);
    13.         }
    14.     }
    15.     void Restart (){
    16.         SceneManagement.LoadScene(SceneManagement.GetActiveScene().name);

    I have the same problem with a UnityEngine.SceneManagement and MonoBehaviour not been recognised in VS 2015 after updating Unity to 2020 version. I made the game when i had Unity 2019 version, everything was ok. Now those namespaces aren't recognised in my VS 2015.

    Not sure if this will fix it for you but I had a similar issue and figured it out.

    My editor script was in an assembly definition and I forgot to mark the assembly platform to "Editor".

    Project built just fine afterwards.

    I had this problem and ended up trying something completely different. Don't know if this will help anyone but this is what I ended up doing:

    I had "using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;" and "using UnityEditor.SceneManagement;" when I had the error. I tried fully qualifying the UnityEditor commands and removing the include for them like RareRooster suggested, but still got the error.

    I realised the error was only coming up when I was actually building the game, not while using it in the editor, and I had no need for those commands at run time (they were just scripts I was running to help build a scene).

    So I put all of the UnityEditor-related commands within an "#if UNITY_EDITOR" ... "#endif" directive, and then Unity could build the game without problems.
