Pass data and references between scenes in Unity

By Y SAI KIRAN

Hello programmers, In this article, I will show how to “Pass data and references between scenes in Unity”

As a beginner at Unity, everyone faces the problem of passing data between the scenes which can bring a huge difference in the game. Let’s get started with the building process.

Create a New C# Script

• Open the Main scene.
• In the Project window, go to Assets > Scripts.
• Create a new script and name it as GameManager.
• In the Hierarchy, create a new empty GameObject and name it GameManager.
• Assign your new script to the GameObject.

C# Script

• Open the GameManager script in your chosen IDE.
• Delete the default Start() and Update() methods, then add the following code to create a static member to the GameManager class:

public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static GameManager Instance;

    private void Awake()
    {
        Instance = this;
        DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
    }
}

Modify Awake()

private void Awake()
{
    if (Instance != null)
    {
        Destroy(gameObject);
        return;
    }

    Instance = this;
    DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
}
