Car selection screen

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

I am making a car game and I would like to have a Car selection screen in my first scene, and then load an instantiated prefab from the selection in the next scene. So how I understand this process is that essentially I need the player to press a button for selection his/her car which then sends a message to the next scene to instantiate a certain prefab.

Does anyone know how to set up a script like this? Any help would be highly appreciated! :slight_smile:

you needs to take an for loop for all car button. suppose you have 5 car . put all car info in an arrayList.

public string[] cararray=new string[5];

     void Start ()
	        {
		cararray[0]=car1;
		cararray[1]=car2;
		cararray[2]=car3;
		cararray[3]=car4;
		cararray[4]=car5;
		
		}		

foreach(int i=0;i<=5;i++)
{
           if(GUILayout.Button(""+cararray[i],GUILayout.ExpandWidth(true)))
			{
                          carname=cararray[i];
                        // use any function to call this car here

                        }
}

You will also need to transfer your car from selection scene to game scene, use DontDestroyOnLoad(YourSelectedCar);

Many thanks to both of you for the replies and the excellent code from achingupta87!

Ravel: so I will need to bring it with me to the next scene? Interesting… So I could have a show room of 5 cars, if I choose one, then I set a DontDestroyOnLoad on the car chosen and Destroy the others right?

Or I guess it could be solved with adding code to the button that Instantiates the Prefab in the menu scene and adding a DontDestroyOnLoad to that Prefab.
