Entering a scene with an if statement

Questions & Answers
1

hi so I am new with unity and I am making a project for my multimedia HSC project.
I have made it so if the player takes damage it will be destroyed but I want to change it so it plays a different scene which will be my game over scene

help would be really appreciated
this is the code for the health

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class playerhealth : MonoBehaviour
{

 public int health;
 public int maxHealth = 3;


 void Start()
 {
      health = maxHealth;
 }


 public void TakeDamage(int amount)
 {
    health -= amount;
    if(health <= 0)
    {
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }
 }

}

Add this to the top of your script:

using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

Now you can load a scene by its name like this:

 public void TakeDamage(int amount)
 {
    health -= amount;
    if(health <= 0)
    {
        Destroy(gameObject);
        SceneManager.LoadScene("SceneName");
    }
 }

If you want to load the scene with a delay you can do this:

public void TakeDamage(int amount)
 {
    health -= amount;
    if(health <= 0)
    {
        Destroy(gameObject);
        Invoke("LoadSceneDelay", 3);
    }
 }

public void LoadSceneDelay()
{
      SceneManager.LoadScene("SceneName");
}

You can use UnityEngine.SceneManagement like @PingSharp told you. But if the script is on the Destroyed (Or Will Be Destroyed) GameObject, I recommend that you erase the Destroy(gameObject) line as it will cancel the function of SceneManager.LoadScene("GameOver Scene").

Here’s what I recommend:

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

public class playerhealth : MonoBehaviour
{

 public int health;
 public int maxHealth = 3;
 private bool isDead = false;


 void Start()
 {
      health = maxHealth;
 }


 public void TakeDamage(int amount)
 {
    if (isDead) return; //If by any chance the player will get hit by another damage.

    health -= amount;
    if(health <= 0)
    {
        isDead = true;
        Invoke("PlayerDied", 1f); //Give a delay for 1 sec before PlayerDied function plays, usually so that you can play a death animation first
    }
 }

 void PlayerDied()
 {
      SceneManager.LoadScene("GameOver Scene");
 }
}
