Why not, i am making an adventure game and i got a main character, i don't want to have a different instance of it on each layout and i don't want to create manually on every layout, it make sense to make it a global object and you can't make an adventure game without pathfinding and i never made a game without at least 6 layouts
But again just to make it clear for Ashley , this bugs also happens when i call stop and the object is NOT global and without switching layouts.
