Hi,

I am trying to move my player/gameobject to the next scene being loaded.

 public void loadLevelasync(int id, GameObject player)
    {
        StartCoroutine(fadeIn(loadingCanvas, 2.0f));

        Scene nextLevel = SceneManager.GetSceneAt(id);
        SceneManager.MoveGameObjectToScene(player, nextLevel);
        StartCoroutine(loadScene(id));
    }
  
    IEnumerator loadScene(int id)
    {
        AsyncOperation async = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(id);
        while (!async.isDone)
        {
            loadingBar.value = async.progress / 0.9f;
            yield return null;
        }
    }

I can load the scene async perfectly, but my gameobject is not in the next loaded scene hierarchy and the lighting is not fully done.

How exactly does MoveGameObjectToScene work?

Thanks,
Austin

@sk8terboy4 Instead of using SceneManager.MoveGameObjectToScene(player, nextLevel), you can simply use:

Object.DontDestroyOnLoad(player.gameObject); //You might be able to just use 'player'.

Or if the script you are on is the player’s script, you can simply use:

Object.DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject); //You might be able to just use 'this'

Sorry about the long time waiting, I have only come across this problem today.

This is how to keep objects (different than moving objects from scene to scene however it might help you)… Unity - Moving Objects Between Scenes - YouTube
