Don't Destroy On Load..

By
So if you want to keep an object or script that keeps up variables (or for any other reason) when you go from scene to scene, you need to attach a don't destroy on load static function, which goes something like this: function Awake () {     DontDestroyOnLoad (transform.gameObject); } The Awake function is call only once, when all the objects in the scene have been created. Read more about it here . DontDestroyOnLoad  has what ever is in the ( ) to not be destroyed when creating a new scene. (transform.gameObject) is what will not be destroyed when the new scene is loaded, in this case, it will be the game object and all it's children the script is attached to.

Handling Music and Sound Effects In Your Games

By
Initiative  While developing Treva's Adventure I had to figure out a way to handle multiple music tracks and sound effects in a clean manner or suffer horribly.  What was going to help me achieve a simple solution was taking all the different sounds and centralizing them in a single class in order to black box them.   Any other code trying to play a sound wouldn't even know the sound file's name.   All code trying to play a music track would reference a enum that defines all the track names.

When you download the file, you'll need to extract the file if its in  a .zip The text file should have the extension .ttf. If you text files have a FFIL extension, simply rename the font file (yourname.ttf). Drag the text file into unity to import. By default the Character variable should be labeled Dynamic . The Dynamic setting means  that Unity won't pre-generate the texture, so if you look at your material containing your font, It probably will be blank. (read more here) Now your over all objective should be getting your font to look like this (unless you prefer dynamic): Where the characters of the font are not jumbled up and visible. Now usually all you have to do to achieve this is change the  Character  variable fr...
