Setup Instructions:
Step 1: Add Scenes to Build Settings
Go to File > Build Settings and add all scenes you want to switch between.
Step 2: Attach Script
Attach the SceneSwitcher script to any GameObject in your scene.
Step 3: Set Target Scene Name
In the Inspector, type the exact name of the target scene into the Target Scene Name field.
Step 4: Connect to Button
Select your UI Button, add an onClick event, drag the SceneSwitcher GameObject in, and choose SwitchToTargetScene.
Step 5: Test
Press Play and click the button to switch to the target scene.
Important Notes:
- The scene name must exactly match the name in Build Settings (case-sensitive)
- Make sure the target scene is added to File > Build Settings before testing
- You can reuse this script on multiple GameObjects for different scene transitions
