Hi there!
Just a bit of an FYI before we begin–I’m super new to all of this, so please excuse my newbishness.
I have a simple script for a “portal” to the next level at the end of a basic parkour course. I put it together off of a bit of googling and the API documentation provided by unity. I have an invisible 100x1x100 cube at the bottom of the world to reset you when you fail the course–and that works fine. But when I try to load a new level it doesn’t want to work.
Here is the code:
```
var levelToLoad : String = "level2";
function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider) {
Application.LoadLevel(levelToLoad);
}
```

The code itself looks fine, but there’s two ways it might fail:
1. Is the level to load configured in your [build settings](http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/PublishingBuilds.html)? The `LoadLevel` function can only load levels that have been added to the build.
2. Is [OnTriggerEnter](http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnTriggerEnter.html) being called in the first place? You might add a simple [Debug.Log](http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Debug.Log.html) call, just to make sure.
I’m inclined to hold this in the moderation queue; if it’s either of those two points, then this falls under frequently asked questions. It’s not a bad question, we’re just trying to be more careful about how many of those we post.
