Need help with Moving back and forth from layouts.

I'm making a 2d sidescroller game that requires a player to move from one layout to the other, and occasionally back to the previous layout after hitting a trigger. For example. Player starts in Layout 1-3-1, and moves into layout 1-3-1a, activates a painting which opens up a hidden wall in 1-3-2.

How do I make it so the player exits 1-3-1a and spawns in the same point that he entered 1-3-1a, instead of at the initial spawn on 1-3-1?

Hey Jordan,

Here is a simple way to do it: If you give your player an instance variable called "Location", you could then update it as your player moves between layouts.

So when you leave a layout, you could also set the variable to 1.3.1.1 for example. Now you can add an "On start of layout" event like :

On Start of layout

Player Location = 1.3.1.1        -> Set player position to desired X and Y.

Thanks! That's exactly what I'm looking for in an explanation. I'll try that out. Thank you!

Here's one way to do it with different layout widths:

LayoutTransitioning.capx (r103.2)

Hope it helps!
