using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
public class ChangeLevelOnKeyPressed : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Update()
    {
        // Switch to the next scene when pressing tabulation.
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Tab))
        {
            // This will kill all the existing particles in the current scene to avoid lingering effects in-between scenes.
            PopcornFX.PKFxManager.ResetAllEffects();
            // Now we can load another scene:
            Scene scene = SceneManager.GetActiveScene();
            SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync((scene.buildIndex + 1) % SceneManager.sceneCountInBuildSettings);
        }
    }
}
