Generic Singleton classes for Unity. Use MonoBehaviourSingletonPersistent for any singleton that must survive a level load.

MonoBehaviourSingleton.cs

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class MonoBehaviourSingleton<T> : MonoBehaviour
	where T : Component
{
	private static T _instance;
	public static T Instance {
		get {
			if (_instance == null) {
				var objs = FindObjectsOfType (typeof(T)) as T[];
				if (objs.Length > 0)
					_instance = objs[0];
				if (objs.Length > 1) {
					Debug.LogError ("There is more than one " + typeof(T).Name + " in the scene.");
				}
				if (_instance == null) {
					GameObject obj = new GameObject ();
					obj.hideFlags = HideFlags.HideAndDontSave;
					_instance = obj.AddComponent<T> ();
				}
			}
			return _instance;
		}
	}
}


public class MonoBehaviourSingletonPersistent<T> : MonoBehaviour
	where T : Component
{
	public static T Instance { get; private set; }
	
	public virtual void Awake ()
	{
		if (Instance == null) {
			Instance = this as T;
			DontDestroyOnLoad (this);
		} else {
			Destroy (gameObject);
		}
	}
}

"as T" was the problem I had.
thanks for your script that helped me.

Great script! Saved my bacon during a Ludum Dare. :)

Sample usage

public class EverythingManager : MonoBehaviourSingleton<EverythingManager>
{

}
