How to Fade Between Scenes in Unity

[@travelsizedlions]

I always love how simple and flexible your tutorials are. I just integrated the principles of this tutorial into an existing, moderately complex scene/spawn point management system pretty much seamlessly.

[@kabenzo]

I love how brackeys can always read our minds about what tutorials we want.

[@sumanojha5310]

But now he quit i am soo sad 😭

[@ChristianRuppelt]

I was looking for exactly that. After a quick google search I thought to myself. Maybe Brackeys has done this. Aaaand of course he has. Man, I love you.

[@franciscoarriagada327]

This video and the whole channel is simply incredible. Thank you so much! I'm having trouble seeing the fade-out animation with this method though. At the animation tab I can see that the fade-out animation is running, but it's just not happening on screen. Fade-in works like a charm. Thank you again, great stuff!

[@roger8962]

Finally! That's useful...now i'm ready to release my game...thank you for your tutorials

[@guyclegg]

The best fucking Unity Channel. You deserve all the support you can get man.

[@lilBernier]

Its great to see this video come out a few days AFTER I FOUND OUT HOW TO DO THIS

[@noobsaibot3922]

I always search brackeys and see if there are any new videos and get so happy when i see one Keep it up

[@hamzahgamedev]

There's no need to have 2 Animations for Screen Fader, you can create only one Animation with alpha going down to 0 and in the Animator set the Animation speed to -1 for fading in effect. Well, that's what I did in Easy Main Menu :P

[@berkenusar1764]

Lol, this method better than Brackey's method.

[@hamzahgamedev]

Berken Usar haha, it is small and easier way to do similar stuff! ;)

[@charlestheninja]

This way the function at the end of the animation will trigger at both FadeIn and Out, and we just want it to trigger after FadeOut.

[@renemota6894]

Thanks, Brackey for your help with this tutorial because I'm new to Unity and I needed this fade for a title transition from the menu to the game

[@fyisic]

Very very nice tutorial. Straight to the point yet clear information on what and why. Always seem to learn something new about the software by your videos. Not just a new snippit of code.

[@green3y3guy]

hey so I have a question. What would you suggest is the best option for an artist who doesn't know anything about coding and would like to use blueprints for the making of a game. A game in a style somewhat similar to let's just say "Legend of zelda breath of the wild". What would you suggest is the best to approach this goal. Unity with playmaker or Unreal engine?

[@kalucky0]

green3y3guy Unity with Bolt ;)

[@beaujanssen6243]

kalucky0 what he said

[@praadiiit]

I think, you should use unreal engine blueprint. And if you really really want to create a "legend of zelda breath of the wild" game like. You should looking for a programmer friends 😊

[@geekeren4021]

Pick an Engine and start using It, don' t think to a so big project because is litteraly unreacheble. I think is better to learn scripting in Unity because is more easy. Start making pong like game or something in this level of difficoulty before jumping in a really big project. Sorry for bad English

[@Aerafae]

You know you're getting better when you know how to do something before you watch the video :D Still though, awesome explanations brackeys, love ya!

[@GreySkies_OfTheDead]

okay that's just a lifesaver right here. And it gives so many possibilities !

[@maulesl]

I hope someone can help me. I want to to switch between the levels as soon as my player touches a gameObject. What do I habe to change? I am a total beginner sorry :( Great vid by the way :)

[@sirstroopwafel]

omg i just learned today that there's an "add event" feature in animations. I've been doing Unity for 4 years now and there are just still so much stuff to learn and discover

[@djyork8634]

As always fantastic tutorials, maybe there are other tweaks as approaches to do this but no one explains this stuff as clearly and quickly, plus it ALWAYS works unlike most tutorials! Brilliant stuff thank you so much

[@why4han5lr7]

It is really good to see your channel becoming huge

[@divyanshkumar2308]

Best tutorial. I used this technique for a mobile game but it reduced the fps, although I got back my fps by just disabling the image after the image has completely cleared out and re enabling it when I had to to fade in to black (used animation events to do so).

Does anyone know how to apply this to a button as I want it to happen at the same time I press the play button

[@spicypeachdev]

if you find out, could you let me know how to do it? I'm looking for the same thing

[@zingerx2554]

Just make the button's OnClick() function point to the LevelChanger object and run the FadeToLevel function with the scene name you desire. No additional scripting necessary.

[@3lliot]

@ZingerX thanks I will try that. And let you know if it works

[@quinver15]

@@3lliot it didn't work

[@findoutnow4251]

Instead of doing it in Update function, just make any public function for example public void ButtonPress() { FadeToLevel(1) } and then in unity go to button settings on click event and just attach the function

[@elchupacabra4936]

[@smythfamily8321]

You are amazing brackeys, as always

[@AKSenor24]

That is very helpful, thank you, good job! (in my case scenes will start with buttonclick from my scene-menu so I made little script modifikations; a few lines were commented out)

[@watercat1248]

STEP 1 use this c# code using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; using UnityEngine.SceneManagement; public class LoadSceneOnClick : MonoBehaviour { public void LoadByIndex(int sceneIndex) { SceneManager.LoadScene(sceneIndex); Time.timeScale = 1f; } } STEP 2 and this code for 1 objects STEP 3 put the script in the on clicks () STEP 4 seleck the option LoadScenesOnClick > LoadByIndex(int) STEP 5 the write the nubber of your scenes if you don't know wat is the number of your scenes go File > BuildSetings or prest Ctrl Shift B the add you scenes the beside check number

[@zealot4325]

Thanks for your videos. They are so useful and pleasant to watch

[@noelaramartinez]

Dr. Okun, you saved my day

[@Lordofcookiejars]

Was kinda hoping for something slightly more advanced, like using async scene loading with a variable fade length to dynamically fade between scenes. The approach in this video will work fine for very simple scenes because they load near-instantly on most PCs, but will stutter with more complex scenes.

[@theskelliz2084]

Would there be a way to map the trigger so that it happens on the press of a button? Just a thought.

[@davekite5690]

ok... I've just followed all that and... It works! Great stuff - thanks again. :-)

[@boomklapgames3663]

Hahaha when I started I did the same with the OnGUI, now is easier with the animation tool and the UI system. You made me remember that years, Regards! Good videos!

[@RAPHAELSC]

Amazing! Never seen this technique!

[@IndieMarkus]

I don't think that this tutorial is complete. a) it is a dirty hack to store a variable passed in a function in a class variable, just so that you can call it from the callback function (the levelToLoad). That might work for your case, but if FadeToLevel is called more than once, will cause weird behavior. b) You did't use asynchronous loading. I thought you were going to do something like: start fading + loading the level -> switch scene when loading is complete -> fade in However I learned about AnimationEvents, so thank you for that!

[@Alzimovich2]

I was about to write the exact same thing!

[@ahrenm1]

For me this is where additive scenes have been a game changer. I've moved all my high level game management into a scene that just always stays resident. From there I can load game "content" scenes in and out. The order is have scene 0 as a very light scene with just a splash logo. That's effectively the boot scene. That does an async load on the Game Mgmt scene which can set everything up, pre-load UI (eg scene faders), main menu and so forth. Once it's ready to take over the game manager unloads the boot scene and it's off an running.

[@IndieMarkus]

Thank you for that input - that sounds like a very good way of doing it. I've done a little bit of research after that myself and also found additive scenes to be a nifty feature!

[@Ziplock9000]

@@ahrenm1 Additive scenes are a cluster fucking of pitfalls though

[@a.germane2114]

Never clicked so fast.

[@VisserGoedHart]

Cool. You can also add DontDestroyOnLoad instead and add the FadeIn trigger to the animator and at the end of your code. You can also activate everything by OnTriggerEnter a thing in the game world instead of a mouse button press.

How can I implement this in my menu where every button has a single function? public void PlayGameOne () { SceneManager.LoadScene(1); }

[@jeru222]

You're a super hero uploading this video when I actually needed help with fading Thanks 😀

[@LinkingYellow]

Nice. It'd be cool if we could load multiple scenes within a single scene, to kind of load the next level while still in the previous one.

[@VRwithAndrew]

You can do this using Unity's "LoadSceneAsync"! :)

[@LinkingYellow]

That's really cool, but It doesn't look like what I was meaning to describe. I was thinking more like loading multiple scenes into one scene, so a player could see and walk from one scene into another. It still looks like a powerful tool though.

[@VRwithAndrew]

Ah! If you use this option "LoadSceneMode.Additive" it may give you the results you're looking for. This page goes more in-depth with the topic. unity3d.college/2016/09/26/scenemanager/

[@LinkingYellow]

VR with Andrew ok, that's amazing. You wouldn't happen to know if they be unloaded as well to make an entire game seamless?

[@VRwithAndrew]

Yep! instead of "LoadSceneAsync", you can use "UnloadSceneAsync" which will destroy all the objects associated with that scene.

[@별사탕-j3w]

Thank you so much for the great tutorial! Even Korean subtitles.

[@DonGT]

Shouldn't I be able to do this same script but instead of putting the name of the level I wanna transfer to can't I put it as a string so I can reuse the script and type it? If so please tell me what I would need to change thank you, Edit: I think I could add a public string near the top and instead of putting the number in FadetoLevel(1); I'd do FadetoLevel(STRINGNAME); would this work however?

[@hepcecob]

You ever figure that out? I"m trying to do the same thing, and not sure how to pass a string into it though.

[@captainufo4587]

Could you do a tutorial on persisting scene status between transition? I'm not talking about player data, I mean something like collecting an object or dropping one in scene 1, going toscene 2, going back to scene 1 and not have it reset to it's default status as it would normally happen.

[@flaschenzuglp9994]

Good idea for a video!

[@StrikerBOII]

That seems more to me a changing camera than an scene

[@captainufo4587]

But then if you have a fairly large game without choke points wouldn't the single scene split like that be too heavy/taxing?

[@StrikerBOII]

You need to be familiar with chunks, and several other things, a good starting point to learn about it : www.latexstudio.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Game_Engine_Architecture-en.pdf Around chapter 13-14 This Freako video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHLQi2eipb2hbZI shows the inner workings of the incredible uncharted 2 train scene at a very approachable level, great for seeing the chunks in action and the transitions between them. The book is great in its entirety, btw. If you also want those changes to be kept after restarting the game then you are considering a save system like those Bethesda open world games have, where it saves the position and states of the gameobjects that differ from their original state, so the bodies stay were the npcs die for example.

[@the1whoplayz]

Make sure you disable the image component after fading out.

[@MonkeyShark]

There's a better way than what @the1whoplayz said. The image component should have a bool called "RaycastTarget", which determines whether or not it can be clicked on, so just set it to false in the inspector.

[@giulianoscalamandre1555]

is it possible to make the scene fade after a certain event has occurred? like: after an object falls, the scene can fade into the second one?

[@HelpingPanda]

Why would you attach a rigidbody to a text element? That seems super unnecessary, all you have to to is increase the y-position a bit every frame to make it "float" upwards (can also be done with animations). Adding a fade to it would also be good.

I also recomend disabling raycast target on the image, so it wont block other UI interections while its animating.

[@ishan9815]

The scene is in the loading state, so it's better not to let the user accidentally interact with any UI elements till it loads

[@P3rvenc]

It depends, i've come across situations on my games that i wanted to let user interact with screen during the fade in. Just saying, because it took a while for me do discovery the raycast thing on the image when i needed

@@P3rvenc Yes, in certain cases like that, you should disable it. And yeah it also took me some time to figure that raycasting thing out when one of my animating panel became non interactable cause of the other overlapping it.
