In my first scene I have an object NumberCruncher that has an attached script called NumberCruncher.cs It is set not to destroy itself when a new scene loads.
In my second scene I have an object LostCanvas that has an an attached script Menu_Lost.cs which takes some values from NumberCruncher and then destroys NumberCruncher.
Findings …
NumberCruncher does survive the loading of the second scene and Menu_Lost.cs can pull some values correctly from it. If I ask Menu_Lost to destroy NumberCruncher, NumberCrunchers values are reset when I reload my first scene. Correct! If I do NOT ask Menu_Lost to destroy NumberCruncher, NumberCrunchers values remain when when I reload my first scene. Correct!
While it all functions correctly my Unity Hierarchy does not show the old NumberCruncher beening removed properly when Menu-Last asks.
example
Scene One (Level 1)
NumberCruncher has values set to 0 Correct!
load scene two …
Scene Two (Lose Screen)
NumberCruncher has various values set correctly that Menu _Lost can access Correct!
load scene one …
Scene One (Level 1)
NumberCruncher has various values set to 0 Correct! Correct! (see pic 1)
(additional old) NumberCruncher This looks like the NumberCruncher game object without an attached NumberCruncher.cs. Wrong! (see pic 2)
So I think that I am not getting the correct reference to destroy the NumberCruncher object properly
First scene
NumberCruncher.cs attached to the NumberCruncher object
public class NumberCruncher : MonoBehaviour {
void Awake() {
GameObject.DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
}
}
Second scene
Menu_Lose.cs attached to the LostCanvas object
public class Menu_Lost : MonoBehaviour {
/* -----< DECLARATIONS >----- */
//INSPECTOR
public NumberCruncher nc;
/* -----< DECLARATIONS -END >----- */
void Start () {
//Find the running NumberCruncher
nc = FindObjectOfType<NumberCruncher>();
//Do some stuff .....
Destroy(nc); //Finished getting data from Number Cruncher. Destroy it!
}
}
