Singletons in Unity - Simple Tutorial for Beginners
Why Stack Overflow recommends it
Stack Overflow users link it when Unity questions need data or a manager object shared across scenes, such as passing values between scene loads or keeping game state.

What it is
A short beginner tutorial from Reso Coder on implementing the singleton pattern in Unity. It explains why manager game objects (ads, music, game services) should persist across scenes and walks through the code to build one.

Finally got this working. I moved my sealed class inside the Singleton class, and implemented onClick method in there. And yes, Singleton pattern works great for this case. I followed this tutorial [this video]

Three options to do what you are looking to do: Make a static property/field with the static keyword in the PublicThings class Make a ScriptableObject [LINK] and attach it to the item that is calling it ( video tutorial [LINK] ) Utilize the Singleton Pattern [this video] (I would suggest avoid using this method before trying the other two) Also it's worth noting that the Singleton Pattern doesn't necessarily solve your problem. You will still have to call something like PublicThings.instance.Score . Hope this helps.

Welcome to stack overflow, and presumably, programming. What you are looking for, is a way to 'transfer' data between scenes as they switch. Though there is no direct way to transfer data between scene, your desired effect can be done by Having a globally accessible Singleton or Static instance. When a scene loads, a script will read data from the instance (in your case, it will read to determine the player's starting position) Static Types In your case, I recommend using static types, you can look into this blog [LINK] or this short video [LINK] . public static class GlobalData { // Use an Enum if you need to represent more states, // or you can setup a more sophisticated state machine if n

@RyanCat Yes, there will be a GameObject on the actual game scene with the attached Singleton script on it. You can see [this video] for better understanding. The Youtube video shows how Singleton can be used to make an integer value globally accessible, which you can change it to any other data-type *(list, GameObject, etc)*.

Within the switch statement you set currentLevel to the next level, then you load a new scene. I suspect that when the new scene loads currentLevel = Level.Level_1 is called again and resets currentLevel You can try and replace that line to something like currentLevel = (Level)SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex; or you can make a Game Manager that keeps track of the current level with the singleton approach. It's a bit more complicated but probably a more elegant solution. If you want to know more about singletons: [this video] [LINK] [LINK]

I am doing a Unity project. I have two scenes in my project. In the first scene. I set three buttons texted "1 min", "2 mins" and "3 mins". And I want to have the corresponding game duration in my second scene (game scene). I have countdown function in my script. now I am using singleton pattern following the steps of this tutorial. [this video] Problem is when I run the game, three texts of time start simultaneously. And my buttons in Scene one could control load scenes but not choose time. The following are the codes. In the PersistentManager Script which attached to the PersistentManager game object: using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; using UnityEngi
