Brilliant thank you, just what I needed. Will credit you in my University project.

Keep going with such tutorials man! They're really helpful :)

Thanks man.
I recommend changing the line 40 for this
static string loadingSceneIndex = "NameOfLoadinScene";
because it not change if you change scene number, useful to many scene projects

ThankYou!

have u got a downloadable script for the 2nd one as well

I used this but it gets stuck on loading screen and won't fade in. Any suggestions?

thanks

Unity recommends using UnloadSceneAsync now. Use that instead of UnloadScene

I tried adding .gif and converted it to a sprite. Then assigned it to the LoadingIcon but the animation of the gif doesn't seem to animate it when rendering the game! Any ideas?
