Set Sequence Command LoadLevel to always load the next scene in the build settings

[ehdusjenny]

Hello! I was wondering if it's possible to call LoadLevel or another similar Sequence command to load the next scene listed out in the build settings, without having to specify the scene/level name.

The reason I want to do this is to use the same conversation for all scene transitions since I'll have many scenes. This way I won't have to create a conversation for each scene transition where the scene/level name has to be specified in the command.

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

If you want to use the existing LoadLevel() sequencer command, you can use a Dialogue System variable. In LoadLevel(), you can specify a build index instead of a scene name by putting "index:" in front of the build index, such as:

LoadLevel(index:2)

Let's say you have a variable named sceneIndex. You could set up a dialogue entry like this:

• Dialogue Text: "Take me to the next scene."
• Script: Variable["sceneIndex"] = Variable["sceneIndex"] + 1
• Sequence: LoadLevel(index:[var=sceneIndex])

Hi Tony, I apologize for the late response, I took a break from coding. Thanks for your help.

I tried running

Code: Select all

LoadLevel(index:[var=sceneIndex])

but it printed an error saying "Scene 'index:1' couldn't be loaded because it has not been added to the build settings or the AssetBundle has not been loaded.".

So I tried running

Code: Select all

LoadLevel(index:1)

but getting the same error.

I attached a picture of my build settings. It has two scenes so I expected "LoadLevel(index:1)" to work but not sure why it's erroring. Would you know why?

Thanks again for your help.

Hi,

To use the "index:#" format with LoadLevel, make sure you've set up the save system. Otherwise it will use Unity's plain old SceneManager.LoadScene("name") which doesn't understand "index:#".

Yes, that fixed it! Thank you for your help once again.
