public static method LoadScene(sceneBuildIndex: int, mode: SceneManagement.LoadSceneMode = LoadSceneMode.Single): void;
public static void LoadScene(int sceneBuildIndex, SceneManagement.LoadSceneMode mode = LoadSceneMode.Single);
public static method LoadScene(sceneName: string, mode: SceneManagement.LoadSceneMode = LoadSceneMode.Single): void;
public static void LoadScene(string sceneName, SceneManagement.LoadSceneMode mode = LoadSceneMode.Single);

Parameters

sceneName Name or path of the Scene to load.
sceneBuildIndex Index of the Scene in the Build Settings to load.
mode Allows you to specify whether or not to load the Scene additively. See LoadSceneMode for more information about the options.

Description

Loads the Scene by its name or index in Build Settings.

Note: In most cases, to avoid pauses or performance hiccups while loading, you should use the asynchronous version of this command which is: LoadSceneAsync.

When using this SceneManager.LoadScene, the loading does not happen immediately, it completes in the next frame. This semi-asynchronous behavior can cause frame stuttering and can be confusing because load does not complete immediately.

The given sceneName can either be the Scene name only, without the .unity extension, or the path as shown in the BuildSettings window still without the .unity extension. If only the Scene name is given this will load the first Scene in the list that matches. If you have multiple Scenes with same name but different paths, you should use the full path.

Note that sceneName is case insensitive, except when you load the scene from an AssetBundle.

For opening Scenes in the Editor see EditorSceneManager.OpenScene.
