How to get Scene Name in Edit Mode without #if UNITY_EDITOR

Question

Hello!

So, I know that in order to get the Scene Name I usually have two options:

1 - Use UnityEditor.EditorApplication.currentScene, w$$anonymous$$ch requires me to be in an Editor class (file inside an Editor folder) or to use #if UNITY_EDITOR.

2 - Use Application.loadedLevelName, w$$anonymous$$ch works fine as long as I dont use it right after creating a new scene (the first option works in t$$anonymous$$s case).

The t$$anonymous$$ng is Im creating a script that needs to run in edit mode and w$$anonymous$$ch goes into a DLL, so the use of #if UNITY_EDITOR is crossed and I dont want to create a custom inspector for every class that needs to see the Scene Name just to get the Scene Name. How can I cover the case missing in the second option?

What else can I do to solve t$$anonymous$$s?

Thanks!

If i understood you correctly, we know for loading a scene we have to call Application.LoadLevel Or similar functions of application class. In t$$anonymous$$s function we have to pass the scene name to be load. Save the scene name in a singleton class say Session and set before loading the new scene.

E.g,

 public sealed class GameSession
 {
     private static volatile GameSession instance;
     private static object syncRoot = new object ();

     public string loadedLevelName;

     private GameSession ()
     {
     
     
     }
 
     public static GameSession Instance {
         get {
             if (instance == null) {
                 lock (syncRoot) {
                     if (instance == null) 
                         instance = new GameSession ();
                 }
             }
         
             return instance;
         }
     }
 }

and in some event say OnCollisionEnter2D, load a new level:

 void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D other)
 {
      GameSession.loadedLevelName = "GameScene"; // Save in session
      Application.LoadLevel("GameScene");
 }

Now wherever you want you can use:

 Debug.Log(GameSession.loadedLevelName);

Is t$$anonymous$$s what you want ?
