How To Use

First of all, make sure to add your scenes to the Scenes In Build. You’ll also need a Loading Screen Manager in your scene, so let’s create one from the top menu.

You can now select a loading screen from Loading Screen Manager, or tweak some settings and enable features like loading with a collider/trigger. To load a scene, you can either call the loading screen via OnClick, trigger, or within your script.

Single Loading (Standard)

Button usage: Loading Screen Manager > LoadScene() > “Your Scene Name”

Triggers: Select LSM object and enable ‘Load With Trigger’ option. Keep in mind that you need to add a new collider to the manager object and enable ‘Is Trigger’ option.

				
					using Michsky.LSS; // LSS namespace required

public LoadingScreenManager lsm; // Your LSM variable

void YourFunction()
{
   // Using Loading Screen Manager 
   lsm.LoadScene("Your Scene Name"); // Load a new scene via LSM
  
   // Alternate loading
   LoadingScreen.prefabName = "Prefab Name"; // Change the preferred prefab using the class
   LoadingScreen.LoadScene("Scene Name"); // Load a new scene directly using the class
   
   // Load by scene index
   lsm.LoadScene(SceneUtility.GetScenePathByBuildIndex(1));
}

Additive Loading

If you want to load new scenes without unloading the current scene, you can use this method. It can be used within scripts, buttons, or via ‘Additive Loading Trigger’.

Button usage: Loading Screen Manager > LoadAdditiveScene() > “Your Scene Name”

Trigger usage: Select your object and add ‘Additive Loading Trigger’ component. Keep in mind that you need a collider attached to your object and ‘Is Trigger’ option needs to be enabled.

				
					using Michsky.LSS; // LSS namespace required

public LoadingScreenManager lsm; // Your LSM variable

void YourFunction()
{
   // Using Loading Screen Manager 
   lsm.LoadAdditiveScene("Your Scene Name"); // Load a new scene via LSM additive mode
   lsm.UnloadAdditiveScene("Your Scene Name"); // Unload a new scene via LSM additive mode
}

Virtual Loading

If you have a lightweight scene and want to keep loading screen for some time, you can use this option. It basically creates a ‘fake’ loading screen. Just enable the feature, set a time, and you’re good to go.

Limitations

Due to engine limitations, you may experience laggy transitions or freezing while loading within the editor. However, this is not the case in builds. This is unfortunately not a thing that we can fix.
