how to reload a unity scene faster?

MasterMoni

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on a puzzle platformer project in unity using C#. There game has no lives system, so when the player makes a mistake, the level is restarted immediately.

I normally use the following code to (re)load a scene:

string scene = "name";
SceneManager.LoadScene(scene);

However, this method has a loading time, ranging between a few and tens of seconds. I am wondering if there is a way to make the reloading of the same scene almost instant, for example: the game 'Ori and the blind forest' features multiple escape sessions. When the player dies during these, the restarting takes no more than a second, which helps to maintain 'the flow of the game'.

How do I go about this most efficiently?

You can use LoadSceneAsync to have multiple scenes load at the same time. But if only have one scene per level you may also want to use a restart function that would reset the players position, the time, etc.
