Player Positioning Based on Previous Scene
My character is moving through different rooms, but when they go through doors and I load the scenes the player always goes to the position set in the editor. Is there a way to set the position of the character as the scene is loaded? Here is my script so far:
public string sceneToLoad;
public Vector2 playerPosition;
public VectorValue playerStorage;
public void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other) {
if (other.CompareTag("Player") && !other.isTrigger)
{
SceneManager.LoadScene(sceneToLoad);
}
}
Thanks!
Two ways:
Add a SceneManager.sceneLoaded event handler, https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.SceneManager-sceneLoaded.html
put a initialization script in the new scene that sets the player position in it's Start() which gets called automatically when the scene with that object is loaded.
Thanks, @tonialatalo! I think the first way would be better. Can I set a variable in the first scene that the new scene can edit?
Yes. One common way is to have a loader scene, that always sits there and keeps some data. It is normal and fine to have multiple scenes running at one time in Unity. So you could put a script with a sceneLoaded handler there.
Also, you can actually just register a sceneLoaded handler in some class that you use before the scene load. All the C# classes stay in memory even if you switch a scene, at least if you use a static method I think it will work. But it's probably clearer for you to have some gameobject around where you have the handler, so I'd recommend making an extra scene where that sits.
