How can I change scenes through a collision?

Questions & Answers
1

I’ve tried a whole load of different scripts for this but none of them seem to work. All I ever get from them is a Compiling error when I try to test them. Also if it’s possible could I get an object to appear and delay the transition to the scene so the player see’s the object for a few seconds? (Also I am a GIANT noob when it comes to scripting in unity)

using UnityEngine;
using System.Linq;

public class LoadLevelOnCollisionEnter : MonoBehaviour {
    public string levelName;
    public bool async;
    public Collider[] collidersTriggerLoad;
    void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision) {
        if(collidersTriggerLoad.Contains(collision.collider)) {
            LoadLevel();
        }
    }
    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider collider) {
        if(collidersTriggerLoad.Contains(collider)) {
            LoadLevel();
        }
    }
    void LoadLevel() {
        if(async) {
            Application.LoadLevelAsync(levelName);
        }
        else {
            Application.LoadLevel(levelName);
        }
    }
}

I think this should work.

What Zergling103 wrote seems legit, but IMO it’s better to have a centralized event manager system, like the one described in the runner tuto @ catlikecoding.com
Although that tuto is good, since you say you’re a total noob, do the first (clock) tutorial.
You can safely skip the star tutorial - that’s some stuff you won’t need for quite some time.
