Scene.buildIndex

Description

Return the index of the Scene in the Build Settings.

Scene.buildIndex varies from zero to the number of Scenes in the Build Settings minus one. This is because indexes start at zero, so the first Scene is at position zero in the buildIndex. For example, five Scenes in the Build Settings have an index from zero to four.

Unity ignores any numbers in a Scene name. For example, if you add a Scene called scene15 to a list of five Scenes in the Build Settings, Unity gives it a buildIndex of 5.

A Scene that is not added to the Scenes in Build window returns a buildIndex one more than the highest in the list. For example, if you don’t add a Scene to a Scenes in Build window that already has 6 Scenes in it, then Scene.buildIndex returns 6 as its index .

If the Scene is loaded through an AssetBundle, Scene.buildIndex returns -1.
