How to get Scene Name in Edit Mode without #if UNITY_EDITOR

Questions & Answers

Hello!

So, I know that in order to get the Scene Name I usually have two options:

1 - Use UnityEditor.EditorApplication.currentScene, which requires me to be in an Editor class (file inside an Editor folder) or to use #if UNITY_EDITOR.

2 - Use Application.loadedLevelName, which works fine as long as I dont use it right after creating a new scene (the first option works in this case).

The thing is Im creating a script that needs to run in edit mode and which goes into a DLL, so the use of #if UNITY_EDITOR is crossed and I dont want to create a custom inspector for every class that needs to see the Scene Name just to get the Scene Name. How can I cover the case missing in the second option?

What else can I do to solve this?

Thanks!

If i understood you correctly, we know for loading a scene we have to call Application.LoadLevel Or similar functions of application class. In this function we have to pass the scene name to be load. Save the scene name in a singleton class say Session and set before loading the new scene.

E.g,

public sealed class GameSession
{
	private static volatile GameSession instance;
	private static object syncRoot = new object ();

	public string loadedLevelName;

	private GameSession ()
	{
	
	
	}

	public static GameSession Instance {
		get {
			if (instance == null) {
				lock (syncRoot) {
					if (instance == null) 
						instance = new GameSession ();
				}
			}
		
			return instance;
		}
	}
}

and in some event say OnCollisionEnter2D, load a new level:

void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D other)
{
     GameSession.loadedLevelName = "GameScene"; // Save in session
     Application.LoadLevel("GameScene");
}

Now wherever you want you can use:

Debug.Log(GameSession.loadedLevelName);

Is this what you want ?
