you will have to use the new SceneManager instead.

details are here

The main points are the following;

at the top of your script you must include another NameSpace;

using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

then when you want to load a scene, you could use the following

SceneManager.LoadScene(0);

Now you will see the 0 inside the brackets, that is the build index of the scene, pretty much used in the same way in this form.

hope that helps.

Hey @ben, this doubt is very common over here and I donā€™t recall this being addressed in this section of the course, do you think that it is worth to attach a small video explaining this change on the scenemanager?

If updating the videos is a p.i.t.a then maybe something could be added to the resources for this type of thing?

Potentially you could add a URL which is the search on the forum for the relevant terms which then lists all of the many responses this question (and others) has had.

Thought only

I think it is time to insert some ā€œDifferences in Unity 5ā€ videos in each section, good plan. This is on our backlog, thanks.

Ok, so I assume (0) in .LoadScene (0) is an int? So how do you pass the int variable into .LoadScene ( ā€¦ )?
This isnā€™t working:

public void LevelLoad(int 0)
	{
	Debug.Log("Level load requested: " + name);
	SceneManager.LoadScene(0);
	}

And Unity scripting reference has this:

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    void Start () {
        // Only specifying the sceneName or sceneBuildIndex will load the scene with the Single mode
        SceneManager.LoadScene ("OtherSceneName", LoadSceneMode.Additive);
    }
}

thank you.

Hi @EmpoweringArts,

Try these;

public void LevelLoad(int sceneIndexToLoad) {
    Debug.Log("You requested scene build index " + sceneIndexToLoad + " to be loaded."):
    SceneManager.LoadScene(sceneIndexToLoad);
}

public void LevelLoad(string sceneNameToLoad) {
    Debug.Log("You requested scene name " + sceneNameToLoad + " to be loaded.");
    SceneManager.LoadScene(sceneNameToLoad);
}

Be careful with using the scene build index, if you donā€™t have your scenes in the correct build order you may run in to problems.

You can check their order and index under File / Build Settingsā€¦

Note: Your order may vary depending on how you manaage the loading of your levels

[Solved] Found it - for some reason there was an ā€˜EventSystemā€™ game object missing in the ā€˜Gameā€™ scene.
I canā€™t recall how it was created in the first place.
Thanks, Mark

EventSystem gets added when you drop the UI.Text GameObject in, which in turn creates the UI.Canvas if there isnā€™t one already.
