Application.loadedLevel using the new SceneManager class

Unity Engine
1

Referenced the documentation for SceneManager but still confused how to rewrite Application.loadedLevel and Application.LoadLevel using the new SceneManager class. Can anyone help?

I forgot what Application.loadedLevel used to return.

You can use this now

UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager.GetActiveScene ();

If Application.loadedLevel returned a string, you can do this

UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager.GetActiveScene ().name;

Thanks. Almost there. Say I have just 2 scenes with the identical script in each
With the following script I can go to Scene 2 from Scene 1 but I can’t go back. I’ve correctly defined sceneToLoad in each scene to match the value in Build Settings. ie 0 and 1

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

public class TraverseSceneScript : MonoBehaviour {

    public int sceneToLoad;

    void OnGUI(){

        GUI.Label(new Rect(Screen.width / 2 - 50, Screen.height - 80, 100, 30), "Current Scene: " + (SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex - 1));

        if(GUI.Button(new Rect(Screen.width/2 - 50, Screen.height -50,100,40), "Load Scene " +(sceneToLoad +1 ))){
            SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex+sceneToLoad);
        }
    }
}
4 
 SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex+sceneToLoad);

If sceneToLoad holds the build index of the scene you want to load, there’s really no reason to fetch the current scene’s index and add to it.

This should work just fine

SceneManager.LoadScene(sceneToLoad);
