Unity - Scene Manager Utility

Unity – Scene Manager Utility

The current management of scenes in Unity is a bit hard and needs to be simplified with creating an integrated window for Unity and managing all scenes at one place, so I decided to create a small Unity utility window for managing scenes.

Unity - UI Loading Scene Bar

In this episode we will create UI (user interface) with some progress bars. We are going to build a radial progress bar, a progression with rotating image and a rect bar. In the rotating image we will create a C# script to force the image to rotate. To finish we will test the various options available such as real progression, virtual progression, text with percentage or loading. I hope the tip will be useful for you, as it was for me.

Unity - CSharp Loading Scene Manager

In this episode we will create our CSharp script to manage the transition of our scenes. The script will have the option to manage bars with real synchronized progress or virtual through incremental progress. We'll also add the option to pause the loading with the possibility of continuing to load by pressing any key on the keyboard or mouse. The coding will take into account the security using abstract class, private variables and coroutines. I hope the tip will be useful for you, as it was for me.

Gideros Scene Manager

One of Gideros Studio's benefits include easy to use and understand API, which has just exceeded 470 functions and classes. We are gearing towards a complete mobile development environment, bundled with an easy-to-use IDE and SDK. Our forum is constantly improving and filling up with questions and answers, and one of the most exciting things we encounter is the fast evolution of sample applications and games built with Gideros Studio. We are really thrilled! Devs, keep up the good work! To help Giderans (short form of Gideros devs) easily code their applications, we are releasing a sample "Gideros Scene Manager". This is a collection of Lua files including several examples of how to manage your scene. "Where would I need it?" you may ask. Let's explain. In most applications and games, you have different scenes (e.g menu, scoreboard, game screen, platform, inventory screen, end-of-game screen etc). You need to put your sprites in each of these screens, and one way or another, provide a transition method between them. Since you are building your next-award-winning-game, these transitions cannot be left without an effect. Gideros Scene Manager comes handy at this stage, when you easily want your scenes pass one after another. For example, in an e-book, you code all of your pages and then allow Gideros Scene Manager to show each scene. Transitions between scenes are not static, you can use many transitions between them. Transitions include fade, move, over and flip, and dualities of these transitions, like move with fade, over with fade, crossfade, flip with shade, flip with fade etc. You do not have to bother with any of these transition methods. Last but not least, here is a list of scene transitions used in Gideros Scene Manager. They are all self-explanatory, so we didn't bother to write what each transition means: Move functions [list type="arrow_right"]

SceneManager.moveFromLeft

SceneManager.moveFromRight

SceneManager.moveFromBottom

SceneManager.moveFromTop

SceneManager.moveFromLeftWithFade

SceneManager.moveFromRightWithFade

SceneManager.moveFromBottomWithFade

SceneManager.moveFromTopWithFade

[/list] Overlay functions [list type="arrow_right"]

SceneManager.overFromLeft

SceneManager.overFromRight

SceneManager.overFromBottom

SceneManager.overFromTop

SceneManager.overFromLeftWithFade

SceneManager.overFromRightWithFade

SceneManager.overFromBottomWithFade

SceneManager.overFromTopWithFade

[/list] Fade & flip functions [list type="arrow_right"]

SceneManager.fade

SceneManager.crossFade

SceneManager.flip

SceneManager.flipWithFade

SceneManager.flipWithShade

[/list] It should be noted that we have 4 events dispatched to the scene sprites added to Scene Manager, these are: [list type="arrow_right"]

enterBegin: Dispatched when your new scene is about to enter the stage. You can initialize your variables here.

enterEnd: Dispatched after the transition of new scene has ended. Mostly, you add listeners and start your logic here.

exitBegin: Dispatched when your current scene is about to leave the stage. You can remove listeners and stop timers here.

exitEnd: Dispatched after your current scene has leaved the stage.

[/list] The video below shows an overview of the Gideros Scene Manager.

Simple Scene Manager

This is a simple, but effective approach, to make a scene manager in Quartz Composer patches. The Boolean Demultiplexer works as input source. You put in the number of the scene you want to show. The type of output is "Boolean", so only 1 or 0. This enables or disables the connected scenes. The bool-values are connected the enable-input of the patches. So if not used, than the patch went to "sleep mode". Very important: The Use Reset Value flag must be set. If not set, the enable-values of the non-active outputs stay at 1 and will not be set to 0 automatically.
