Trying to do the save system and i keep getting an error that says “The name ‘SceneManager’ does not exist in the current context” for both the GameManager and bench scripts.

GameManager:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public string transitionedFromScene;

    public Vector2 platformingRespawnPoint;
    public Vector2 respawnPoint;
    [SerializeField] Bench bench;
    public GameObject faithstealer;
    public static GameManager Instance { get; private set; }
    private void Awake()
    {
        SaveData.Instance.Initialize();

        if (Instance != null && Instance != this)
        {
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }
        else
        {
            Instance = this;
        }
        SaveScene();

        DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
        bench = FindObjectOfType<Bench>();
    }
    public void SaveScene()
    {
        string currentSceneName = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name;
        SaveData.Instance.sceneNames.Add(currentSceneName);
    }
    public void RespawnPlayer()
    {
        SaveData.Instance.LoadBench();
        if (SaveData.Instance.benchSceneName != null) //load the bench's scene if it exists.
        {
            SceneManager.LoadScene(SaveData.Instance.benchSceneName);
        }
        if (SaveData.Instance.benchPos != null) //set the respawn point to the bench's position.
        {
            respawnPoint = SaveData.Instance.benchPos;
        }
        else
        {
            respawnPoint = platformingRespawnPoint;
        }


        PlayerController.Instance.transform.position = respawnPoint;

        StartCoroutine(UIManager.Instance.DeactivateDeathScreen());
        PlayerController.Instance.Respawned();
    }
}

bench:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Bench : MonoBehaviour
{
    public bool interacted;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {

    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {

    }
    private void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D _collision)
    {
        if (_collision.CompareTag("Player") && Input.GetButtonDown("Interact"))
        {
            interacted = true;

            SaveData.Instance.benchSceneName = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name;
            SaveData.Instance.benchPos = new Vector2(gameObject.transform.position.x, gameObject.transform.position.y);
            SaveData.Instance.SaveBench();
        }
    }
    private void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D _collision)
    {
         if (_collision.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            interacted = false;
        }
    }
}

UPDATE: ok so i think the issue was that i didn’t have “using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;” in the game manager or the bench scripts.

Yup. This was one issue that the AI helper would’ve been easily able to help you with.
