Sharing data between scenes in Unity3D

Here’s I’m going to show you steps on how to share your data between scenes in Unity3D

  1. In the starting scene make a new empty object and name it GameData.
  2. Add a script named GameController with the following content:
    #pragma strict
    
    private var data : Array;
    
    function Awake () {
    	DontDestroyOnLoad (this);
    }
    
    function Start () {
    	data = new Array();
    	
    	GetNewResults();
    }
    
    function GetNewResults(){
    	var www : WWW = new WWW ("http://localhost/check");
    	
    	yield www;// Wait for download to complete
    	
    	var dataJson = JSON.Parse(www.data);
    	var novi = dataJson["data"].Value;
    	data = dataJson["someMoreData"];
    	
    	if (novi == "true"){	
    		Application.LoadLevel(Application.loadedLevel + 1);
    	}
    	else{
    		Debug.Log("false");
    	}
    }
    
    public function getData(){
    	return data;
    }

    The most important part is DontDestroyOnLoad(this) which does not destroy this object once a new scene is loaded.

  3. Then, in another scene, in some script do the following to fetch the data:
    var data = GameObject.Find("GameData").GetComponent(GameController).getData();
