Flashback with loading scene

Questions & Answers
1

Hello Everyone,

I’d like to know how to make a flashback effect. So far, I have it so if you set off the trigger you will load the new scene. But before the scene loads, I’d like there to be a flash then the scene loads. Thanks for any help.

The easiest and IMHO best way would be to do that before you do the LoadScene() call.

The following is just one example of a flashback in the form of an animation using an Animator trigger and animation called “PlayFlashBack” (note: The Loop Time checkbox of the animation must be unchecked)

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

public class FlashBackHandler : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Animator animator;

    void Start()
    {
        animator = gameObject.GetComponent<Animator>();
    }

    void LevelComplete()
    {
        StartCoroutine(StartFlashBack());
    }

    IEnumerator StartFlashBack()
    {
        if (animator != null)
        {
            // play the animation using SetTrigger() - this must be setup in the Animator
            animator.SetTrigger("PlayFlashBack");

            // whaile the animation is playing
            while (animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).IsName("PlayFlashBack"))
            {
                yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.01f); 
            }
        }
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.01f); 
        SceneManager.LoadScene("NextSceneToLoad");
    }
}
