Unity how to reset score after scene change?

When I get my game over the scene the score still remains when a start a new game:
ScoringSYstem.cs
public GameObject scoreText;
public static int theScore;
void Update()
{
scoreText.GetComponent<Text>().text = "Score: " + theScore;
}
Timer.cs
public string LevelToLoad;
public static float timer1 = 30f;
private Text timerSeconds;
public GameObject scoreText;
public static int theScore;
// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{
timerSeconds = GetComponent<Text> ();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{
timer1 -= Time.deltaTime;
timerSeconds.text = timer1.ToString("f0");
if (timer1 <= 0)
{
timer1 = 30f;
Application.LoadLevel (LevelToLoad);
}
}
How does it in order to reset the score whenever a scene changes?

First of all you need to create an empty GameObject that you call GameManager then you add a Script to it that you call GameManager as well. So that you can acces your Score from everywhere.
public int score = 0;
public static int time = 30;
#region Singelton
public static GameManager instance;
void Awake()
{
if (instance != null)
{
Debug.LogWarning("More than one Instance of Inventory found");
return;
}
instance = this;
}
#endregion
public void GameOver()
{
score = 0;
scoreText.GetComponent<Text>().text = "Score: " + gm.score;
}
Then you can call theese variables from everywhere and change them as well:
GameManager gm;
void Start()
{
gm = GameManager.instance;
}
void Update()
{
if (time >= 0)
gm.GameOver();
}

You may use the
void OnSceneLoaded(Scene scene, LoadSceneMode mode)
method in your gameover scene to reset theScore variable in your GameObject that holds the variable, if the GameOver scene using a GameEngineObject of some kind.

Everything breaks after using PlayOneShot

In a game I am working on, the player uses a cube to open doors. When the player interacts with the cube while near the door, the door slides open. I am now trying to make it so that while it slides open, it makes a sound as doors should but I kinda ran into some issues. When I tried to add in the sound for the door, it ignored the part where the door should open altogether.
Here is what I did:
I added an AudioSource to the Cube's child object, CORE because the Cube object already contains an AudioSource which will play at the same time as this sound and assigned it in my Cube's script...
public AudioSource Woosh;
void Start()
{
//Debug.Log("Script initialized!");
Hm = gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>();
anim = GameObject.Find("TheFirstDoor").GetComponent<Animator>();
//Door = GameObject.Find("TheFirstDoor").GetComponent<AudioSource>();
Woosh = GameObject.Find("CORE").GetComponent<AudioSource>();
}
Here's the interactive part of the script, it runs a check but for some reason, it is pretending CanBeKey is false...
public void OnActivate()
{
if(HasPlayed == false) //Have I played? Has the Time out passed?
{
HasPlayedFirstTime = true;
Hm.Play();
HasPlayed = true;
PlayTimeOut = 30.0f;
if(CanBeKey == true)
{
anim.Play("Door_Open");
//Door.Play();
StartCoroutine(PlayDaWoosh());
Debug.Log("OPENING!");
}
}
}
Now here is the IEnumerator part of the script, PlayDaWoosh()
IEnumerator PlayDaWoosh()
{
Woosh.PlayOneShot(Woosh.clip);
yield return new WaitForSeconds(Woosh.clip.length);
}
I am aware that the last code snippet is a bit messy but it was the best thing I can think of.
Here is the full script in case you are that curious.....
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class CUBE_CORE : MonoBehaviour
{
public AudioSource Hm; // HM!!!
private bool HasPlayed = false;
public float PlayTimeOut = 0.0f;
public static bool CanBeKey = false;
public Animator anim;
public static bool HasPlayedFirstTime = false;
public static AudioSource Door;
public AudioSource Woosh;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
//Debug.Log("Script initialized!");
Hm = gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>();
anim = GameObject.Find("TheFirstDoor").GetComponent<Animator>();
//Door = GameObject.Find("TheFirstDoor").GetComponent<AudioSource>();
Woosh = GameObject.Find("CORE").GetComponent<AudioSource>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if(HasPlayed == true)
{
if (PlayTimeOut < 0.0f)
{
HasPlayed = false;
}
PlayTimeOut -= Time.smoothDeltaTime;
}
}
public void OnActivate()
{
if(HasPlayed == false) //Have I played? Has the Time out passed?
{
HasPlayedFirstTime = true;
Hm.Play();
HasPlayed = true;
PlayTimeOut = 30.0f;
if(CanBeKey == true)
{
anim.Play("Door_Open");
//Door.Play();
StartCoroutine(PlayDaWoosh());
Debug.Log("OPENING!");
}
}
}
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if(other.gameObject.name == "SecondDoor")
{
anim = GameObject.Find("DoorSecond").GetComponent<Animator>();
}
if(other.gameObject.name == "ThirdDoor")
{
anim = GameObject.Find("TheThirdDoor").GetComponent<Animator>();
}
if(other.gameObject.name == "FourthDoor")
{
anim = GameObject.Find("TheFourthDoor").GetComponent<Animator>();
}
}
IEnumerator PlayDaWoosh()
{
Woosh.PlayOneShot(Woosh.clip);
yield return new WaitForSeconds(Woosh.clip.length);
}
}
Expected result: Door opening and sound playing
Actual result: Neither happening unless I remove anything that has to do with the Woosh
I apologize ahead of time if I wasn't specific enough or if the question was answered somewhere else. I am relatively new here.

Passing data between scenes Errors

I have made a game manager making sure my data gets passed on from the first scene on to the next scene. Within the game manager, I have added certain scripts to ensure it gets passed. As you can see in the picture underneath.
The problem is that the score adds up at the first level, let's say I have 5 points. I go to level 2 and the UI shows my score as 0 (even tho I have nothing put as text within the score text) I kill 1 monster and the UI shows 6. So how can I put the UI to be showing it at all times? (Constant refresh?)
The second problem is that while the score manager does work. The health script cancels everything out when switching levels.
The user starts with 10 health. Takes damage in the first scene, but in the second scene, the user still has 10 health for some reason?

if (invincibleTimer <= 0f) {

}
public bool TakeDamage (int amount) {
if (dead || invincible)
return false;

} else {

OnDeathEvent.Invoke();
}
public void SetUIHealthBar () {
if (UIHeartsHealthBar.instance != null) {
UIHeartsHealthBar.instance.SetHearts (health);
}
}
}
I have thought of adding the following script on to my Health Script
But then I get the following error messages:
" Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'bool'"
"The left-hand side of an assignment must be a variable, property or indexer"
void Awake()
{
if (health)
{
DestroyImmediate(gameObject);
}
else
{
(int)health = this;
DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
}
}

The problem is that the score adds up at the first level, let's say I have 5 points. I go to level 2 and the UI shows my score as 0 (even tho I have nothing put as text within the score text) I kill 1 monster and the UI shows 6. So how can I put the UI to be showing it at all times? (Constant refresh?)
You can make one of the scripts set the UI text score when the scene is loaded.
void Start(){
// Loads the scoreText on start
scoreText.text = yourCurrentScore.ToString();
// Will work unless it has a "DontDestroyOnLoad" applied to it
}
The second problem is that while the score manager does work. The
health script cancels everything out when switching levels. The user
starts with 10 health. Takes damage in the first scene, but in the
second scene, the user still has 10 health for some reason?
In your health script, you had this:
void Start () {
health = maxHealth;
}
This resets your health everytime the scene loads and starts (Aka when you load to the next level). This causes the issue.
" Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'bool'"
if (health)
The () for the if statement should be a condition (a question).
For example, doing health < 0 is valid since its saying "Is health less than 0?"
Doing health is not, since its just saying "10" (or some number).
"The left-hand side of an assignment must be a variable, property or
indexer"
(int)health = this;
If you wanted to change the value of health, just do health = 10 or health = some_Variable_That_Is_An_Integer

Instantiate Object Only once on game start Unity 3D

I have a game with several levels, each level has 6 scenes, the game start directly without any menu scene, and when the player open the game he can continue from the last scene that he already reached.
I want to instantiate some elements only on game opening (like Best score, Tap to play etc...), I mean that they should be instantiated only once on the start of the game (on the level he reached).
I tried this code in GameManager but it instantiate the elements in every scene:
public GameObject PlayButton;
bool GameHasEnded = false;
public float RestartDelay = 2f;
public float NextLevelDelay = 5f;
public int level_index;
private static bool loaded = false;
private void Start()
{
if (!loaded)
{
loaded = true;
level_index = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("Last_Level");
SceneManager.LoadScene(level_index);
}
GameObject canvas = GameObject.Find("Canvas");
GameObject play = Instantiate(PlayButton, canvas.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
play.transform.SetParent(canvas.transform, false);
}
public void CompleteLevel()
{
Invoke("NextLevel", NextLevelDelay);
}
public void EndGame()
{
if (GameHasEnded == false)
{
GameHasEnded = true;
Invoke("Restart", RestartDelay);
}
}
void NextLevel()
{
SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex +1);
level_index = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex + 1;
PlayerPrefs.SetInt("Last_Level", level_index);
PlayerPrefs.Save();
}
void Restart()
{
SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().path);
}

You already have an if block there with the static flag loaded
Since you there load another scene you need a similar second flag e.g.
private static bool loadedPrefab = false;
private void Start()
{
if (!loaded)
{
loaded = true;
level_index = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("Last_Level");
SceneManager.LoadScene(level_index);
// Return because you don't want to execute the rest yet
// but instead in the new loaded scene
return;
}
// The same way skip if the prefab was already loaded before
if(!loadedPrefab)
{
loadedPrefab = true;
GameObject canvas = GameObject.Find("Canvas");
GameObject play = Instantiate(PlayButton, canvas.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
play.transform.SetParent(canvas.transform, false);
}
}

Unity: How to speed up score countdown

A quick question. I am playing with a small game from some tutorials but wanted to add a score that reduces each second. I managed to do so by the code provided below, but the score only lowers with 1 seconds at a time. I want to speed it up somehow, so it can drop each second by let's say 150. I tried a few things, but they didn't work and most of them didn't even record a change on the GUI inside the game. Any help is appreciated!
Code:
public class GameOver : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject gameOverScreen;
public Text Score;
public Text Highscore;
bool gameOver;
private int score = 12000;
void Start () {
FindObjectOfType<PlayerController>().OnPlayerDeath += OnGameOver;
}
public void Update () {
Score.text = Mathf.Round(score - Time.timeSinceLevelLoad).ToString();
if (gameOver)
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space))
{
SceneManager.LoadScene(1);
}
}
}
void OnGameOver()
{
gameOverScreen.SetActive (true);
Highscore.text = Mathf.Round(score - Time.timeSinceLevelLoad ).ToString();
gameOver = true;
}
}

Don't repeat yourself. Make a function to get the score.
int GetScore() {
return score - (int)Time.timeSinceLevelLoad * 150;
}
And then use it.
void Update() {
Score.text = GetScore().ToString();
}

Change this part
Score.text = Mathf.Round(score- Time.deltaTime*150).ToString();
--
public void Update () {
Score.text = Mathf.Round(score- Time.deltaTime*150).ToString();
if (gameOver)
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space))
{
SceneManager.LoadScene(1);
}
}
}
