how can i make it so changes i made in the main menu scene are carried over into the game scene?



below is the code i used for the music player.



// Reference to Audio Source component
private AudioSource audioSrc;

// Music volume variable that will be modified
// by dragging slider knob
private float musicVolume = 1f;

// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{

// Assign Audio Source component to control it
audioSrc = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{

// Setting volume option of Audio Source to be equal to musicVolume
audioSrc.volume = musicVolume;
}

// Method that is called by slider game object
// This method takes vol value passed by slider
// and sets it as musicValue
public void SetVolume(float vol)
{
musicVolume = vol;
}

There are a few options





  1. Make the musicVolume a static so the value is "shared" between all instances of that class.



    private static float musicVolume = 1.0f;



  2. Or use DontDestroyOnLoad to use allways the same component in all Scenes.



    private void Awake ()
    {
    DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
    }


    but than make sure you have that object with this component only included once in the first Scene so you don't have multiple objects later.




  3. you could use a ScriptableObject for this kind of settings. This is more powerful and flexible and "orthodox" than using a static value.



    It is a bit more complicated to get into this but it is worth it. Here is a tutorial.



    [CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "New SettingsAsset", menuName = "Example/SettingsAsset"]
    public class SettingsAsset : ScriptableObject
    {
    public float musicVolume = 1.0f;
    }


    create one SetttingsAsset by right click in the ProjectView (Assets) and in the menu find Example -> SettingsAsset



    and than reference these settings in all Scenes and components wherever needed. In this case e.g.



    // Reference in the inspector
    public SettingsAsset settings;

    // ...

    // Though I doubt you would need to do this in Update
    // If you only change the settings from within a separate settings scene
    // you probably should do this only once
    private void Update()
    {
    audioSrc.volume = settings.musicVolume;
    }
