What's the proper way to reuse GameObjects with Triggers?

Question

I have a game with 5 scenes. Each scene (level) you must collect the same 5 objects.

Right now, I created all the GameObjects on Scene 1... put triggers on them.. and have them working so when you get near them, it is SetActive(False) and they disappear. Perfect.

However, I need them so that when the player enters scene 2, they have to be set out again in different spots on the map. Will I have to specifically write a script that when the player enters scene 2, the objects have to be SetActive(True); with specific coordinates on the map they need to go?

Not exactly sure how the correct protocol goes for this.

Thanks!

@xxmariofer could you give an example (or link to tutorial) of what a code would look like to make an object setActive(true) at a specific point on the map? Would this be using Vector3?

In my head I'm thinking I would need to add "DontDestroyOnLoad" to each of these collectibles... and then say something like "If next scene in build loads... then Object.SetActive(true) at Vector3 (specific coordinates...)" ?

there are a lot of ways of doing this. What i would be doing is have all the Vector3 in an external file like yaml xml or json, and have an Scene$$anonymous$$anager that parses those Vector3 and activates and sets its position at the start of each level

Ok that points me in a closer direction. Thanks. I will continue to look into this.
