Moving between scenes like an adventure game

Questions & Answers
1

Hey, I am new to programming but have been working on a project for a few months now. I am making a 2D game that is supposed to let you move between scenes like in an adventure game. I was using playprefs to store spawn locations for the next scene, but that has recently started becoming very unpredictable.

I have read in many places that I better way to handle this would be to create a singleton object to manage where the character spawns. Could anyone give me any resources that could guide me in how to go about this? I am still very new to all this still and am having a lot of trouble with trying to figure this out.

The script I have bee using is this one, and is attached to trigger objects that are places at both ends of my scene:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class DoorTrigger2 : MonoBehaviour {

	public GameObject MyPlayer;
	public int levelInt;

	public float spawnX;
	public float spawnY;



	void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D target)
	{
		if (target.gameObject.tag == "player")

			PlayerPrefs.SetFloat ("spawnX", spawnX);
			PlayerPrefs.SetFloat ("spawnY", spawnY);

			SceneManager.LoadScene ("level" + levelInt);

		

	}

	void OnLevelWasLoaded ()
	{
		

		MyPlayer.transform.position = new Vector3 (PlayerPrefs.GetFloat ("spawnX"), PlayerPrefs.GetFloat ("spawnY"), 0);

//I recently tried to debug to see where the player was trying to spawn, found spawn points to often be far from where I was intending

		Vector3 spawnPt = new Vector3 (PlayerPrefs.GetFloat ("spawnX"), PlayerPrefs.GetFloat ("spawnY"), 0);
		Debug.DrawRay (MyPlayer.transform.position, spawnPt, Color.blue, 1.0f);
		Debug.Log ("Line here");
	}

You can use colliders
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
Void OnTrigger Website Unity Scripting API

Or…

If you want to change scenes using keys, like I did, here is a script (JavaScript) for that

#pragma strict

function Start () {

}

function Update () {
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha1)){
Application.LoadLevel("Guy");
}
}
