Question by Rad226 · Mar 08, 2018 at 04:17 PM · c#unity 5 level load

Enabling/Disabling or Instantiating objects between scenes?

I want to programmatically generate levels with rising difficulty. Level scene is ready and working. What would be more efficient in context of generating each new level from code:
- have a scene full of inactive objects and just activate them in order
- or have empty scene and instantiate everything from prefabs

Any feedback would be helpfull :)

Not sure what you mean by more efficient. Option 1 will lead to super messy scenes over time and can be hard to maintain. Option 2 works very well from own experience.

For me generated and scene objects don't go well together. As soon as it's unclear where something needs to be in a scene, instantiate it. Only cullpit: async scene loading works smoothly only with scene objects since instantiate runs from within the scene. So if your scenes are coming to be huge preinstantiated objects lead to better user experiences
