I get an error in the Unity console. I like to know what is means and how to solve it?

Question

I tried to get the player ship game object to move to the next scene if all enemies are killed and won the game. I get an error in the Unity console says:

Assets\Scripts\GameController.cs(57,25): error CS0122: 'SceneLoader.LoadNextScene()' is inaccessible due to its protection level.

Currently, I can only go to the next scene when I change the value in the of this line:

SceneManager.LoadScene(1);

to (2) in the scene Loader.cs I added code to the game controller this here: the public void WinGame() method any feedback to what this error s means and how I can fix it is appreciated. :)

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class SceneLoader : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] float levelLoadDelay = 2f;
    private int currentSceneIndex = -1;

    private void Awake()
    {
        currentSceneIndex = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex;
    }

    private void Start()
    {
        if (currentSceneIndex == 0)
        {
             Invoke("LoadFirstScene", 2f);
        }

        private void LoadNextScene()
        {
            int currentSceneIndex =   SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex;
            int nextSceneIndex = currentSceneIndex + 1;
            SceneManager.LoadScene(nextSceneIndex);
        }

        public void LoadFirstScene()
        {
            SceneManager.LoadScene(1);
        }
    }

I'm sure you would have a bunch of solutions typing `is inaccessible due to its protection level` in your favorite search engine — Cid, Jun 19 '19 at 12:34
I didn't find my issue with typing this any guidance is much appreciated .. — martin, Jun 19 '19 at 12:42
You still didnt find the solution? Make your `LoadNextScene()` function public in `SceneLoader script`. — Saad Anees, Jun 19 '19 at 12:51
You can access `private` members **only** from the same class, and `protected` members from that class and its inheritors. Make it `public` to access from outside. — trollingchar, Jun 19 '19 at 12:53
Thank you for the first comment it removed the error. still can't go to next scene I update code in-game controller and in scene loader please look over once again. Thank you — martin, Jun 19 '19 at 12:56
Don't fix your code in your question. You edited and vandalized your own question. now, the methods are inside the `Start()` method — Cid, Jun 19 '19 at 13:30
Your LoadNextScene is only a function available in Start, outside that.. its toast. — BugFinder, Jun 19 '19 at 13:31
@BugFinder No, this wasn't the case when OP asked the question. Check the edit history, he vandalized his own question — Cid, Jun 19 '19 at 15:18

With your current code structure, the problem is that you have method defined inside the start function.

Modified script:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class SceneLoader : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] float levelLoadDelay = 2f;
private int currentSceneIndex = -1;
 public static SceneLoader instance;

private void Awake()
{
    currentSceneIndex = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex;
instance = this;
}

private void Start()
{
    if (currentSceneIndex == 0)
    {
         Invoke("LoadFirstScene", 2f);
    }
}

    public void LoadNextScene()
    {
        int currentSceneIndex =   SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex;
        int nextSceneIndex = currentSceneIndex + 1;
        SceneManager.LoadScene(nextSceneIndex);
    }

    public void LoadFirstScene()
    {
        SceneManager.LoadScene(1);
    }

You can now call the LoadNextScene by using the code:

SceneLoader.instance.LoadNextScene();

Thank you for your response Muhammad I updated the code but still can't go to the next scene. — martin, Jun 19 '19 at 13:59
@IDarkCoder Hi yes, I still not getting to the next scene but the errors are gone. — martin, Jun 19 '19 at 14:27
