I am trying to see if a scene is already loaded before I additively load it again thus either setting it active or loading it if it doesn’t exist. So I am running into this problem:

            Scene already_loaded = SceneManager.GetSceneByName(scene_name);
            if (null != already_loaded)
            {
                Debug.Log(already_loaded.name);
                SceneManager.SetActiveScene(already_loaded);
                return true;
            }
            return false;

That prints off the scene name as “Null” and then throws a runtime exception when I try to set the scene to active. So how in the world do I test if the results are invalid if not via a null test?

Right now I am using this:

           if (already_loaded.name != null)

…but surely there HAS to be a better way to test if a scene is valid or not!
So my question is simply this: What Is that way?

Oh…

The scene has an IsValid() function… Ahhh… Okay. Never mind my n00b moment, please :slight_smile:
