Hi,

 That's simply up to you to put a texture on screen. Either using GUI or a Plane with a texture. This it no different then when you are in your game or in a menu.

To catch when a level is finally loaded ( so you can remove that texture), simply watch for the system event "LEVEL LOADED".

so when you load a level, call your load screen texture game object to show that texture, and it will itself watch for "LEVEL LOADED" to hide it.

Does that make sense?

Bye,

Jean

Hey Jean, i'm not sure i follow.... So you have one scene for loading and your actual game on another scene? How does the loading scene know to load the other scene or is this all in one scene?
