how to show ad at the end like flappy bird? iOS

Hi all,

I’ve done the whole mob ad deal from here (https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-plugins/tree/master/unity) and I got to the point where I have my ad show up at the beginning of the game and is then hidden when the player touches on the START button on my first scene. I put the script (AdScript) with the RequestBanner, hideBanner and showBanner methods in an empty prefab with the DontDestroyOnLoad(transform.gameObject); on Awake void so it stays on through the 3 scenes of my game. I do this because apparently Google does not like it when an ad is requested more than a few times per session.
I thought I could then call the showBanner method from a script in another object with a function event since this function(method) already instantiates a bunch of my game over GUI Textures and GUI Texts (with current and best score):

Public void gameOverStuff(){
             ...
            AdScript adScript = GetComponent<AdScript>();
            adScript.showBanner();
        }

or

public AdScript adScript;
 

          Public void gameOverStuff()
          {
          ...
          adScript.showBanner();
          }

But, neither is working. . . I am not getting any errors but I am also not getting the banner ad to show when the gameOverStuff function event is called. Yes, I added the empty with the AdScript into the adScript slot in the editor. I could try destroying and instantiating the empty prefab with my AdScript requesting the banner on awake but that just sounds so dirty.

I hope it makes sense. My head is spinning now.

Thanks!

You could use a collider at the start that sets showbanner.enabled = true then when you exit it showbanner.enabled = false and do the same at the end

I got it to work with the .FindWithTag. I don’t know why the previous 2 ways don’t work for me:

private startAdsScript startadsScript;

GameObject AdsEmpty = GameObject.FindWithTag ("GoogleEmptyTag");
		if (AdsEmpty != null)
		{
			startadsScript = AdsEmpty.GetComponent <startAdsScript>();
		}
		if (startadsScript == null) 
		{
			Debug.Log ("Cannot find 'startAdsScript' script");
		}
		startadsScript.showBanner();
