Ok this has been really getting uo my nose for a couple of days. trying to change to game scene from a main menu, using

 Application.LoadLevel(sceneToChangeTo);

but I get an error saying that that line is obsolete and to use

 SceneManager.LoadScene

but When I use that line it then tells me that it can’t be used in that context. some please help and elaborate a little more because I can’t find anything else that is current or useful to what I am trying to achieve.
PLEASE HELP BEFORE MY COMPUTER GETS THROWN OUT THE WINDOW, haha it’s been driving me mad especially since I realize it’s probably going to be really simple solution.
Cheers

Hello,

Yes you are correct. Application.LoadLevel became obsolete and was replaced by the new SceneManager.

To use it, simply add using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;to the top of your C# file (or import Unity.SceneManagementfor Javascript).

You now have access to the SceneManager and can load scenes with the line: SceneManager.LoadScene(scene).

You can pass in the scene name as a string or the scene index as an integer.

For more information on the SceneManager.LoadScene refer to the docs.

Hope this helps!
