In working at a musical game and trying to make a system where when you reach certain conditions,a set of instructions are loaded and change somes rules (background scrooling speed,background material,points value,etc.)

Example :

Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4

Start in Level 2
Variable A Start with Value = 5

Do someting right A+1
Do someting wrong A-1

if A=10
next level
reset A value to 5

if A=0
previous level
reset A value to 5

Every level is a set of istructions to change the game rules in real time

Level 1 points worth 1
Level 2 points worth 2
etc.

Try doing something like this-

class LevelInfo
{
    public float difficulty;
    public string levelName
    // etc.
}

Now, in your level-manager component, make a bunch of these:

// make these an array if that architecture would work better for you
public LevelInfo levelOne;
public LevelInfo levelTwo;
public LevelInfo levelThree;

private int skillRank;

private LevelInfo currentLevel;

void Start()
{
    currentLevel = levelOne;
}

void Update()
{
    if(skillRank < 5)
    {
        currentLevel = levelOne;
    } else if(skillRank < 10)
    {
        currentLevel = levelTwo;
    } else
    {
        currentLevel = levelThree;
    }
}

Then, whenever you need to get information about the current difficulty level, just use

currentLevel.difficulty; //(or whatever)

thanks man!!
