How to find out the execution state at runtime?

Questions & Answers

Is it possible to find out from script if Unity is currently calling Awake() or Start(). For example:

void Awake()
{
   bool loaded = game.isSceneLoaded("awesome_level");
}


**game class**
bool isSceneLoaded(string name)
{
        if(UnityEngine.madeup_State == enumState_Awake)
        {
            Debug.LogError("this function must be called from Start()");
        }
       else
       {
           *check for loaded scene but only if we're called from Start()* 
       }
}

Not “automatically”. You have to parameterize and pass around that info just like any other piece of information in your code.

void Awake()
 {
    SomeFunction("scene", false);
 }
 
 void Start()
 {
    SomeFunction("scene", true);
 }
 

 bool SomeFunction(string name, bool calledFromStart)
 {
     if (calledFromStart) {
     
      } else {
         
      }
 }

After thinking about it some more I thought about StackTrace. I know this may be overkill for something that might seem trivial but it could be helpful to others.

public bool isCalledFromAwake()
{
   System.Diagnostics.StackTrace stackTrace = new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace(false);
    foreach(System.Diagnostics.StackFrame f in stackTrace.GetFrames())
    {           
         if(f.GetMethod().Name.Equals("Awake")) return true;
    }             
     return false;
}
