How do I make my player appear outside my building

How do I make my player appear outside my building after I exit it on a separate layout.

So i'm making a 2d game and want to enter and exit 2d buildings. I have 2 layouts and I have made exit boxes, one to enter the building from layout 1 (My level) and appear in layout 2 (inside the building) I know how to enter and exit.

Whats stumping me is that when i get my player to exit layout 2 (inside the building) and return to Layout 1 (My level) The player appears on Layout 1 at the start of the level, I want him to start outside the building where he entered instead of appearing at the start of the level. That might not have been very clear.

Thanks

Thanks for that, It did help a little but that's quite a complex set of doors. I've made my sprite global which is awesome as i no longer have to place a player at the start of a new level. But when I exit my building, my player is no where to be seen, he might be behind all the layers as i can still move around the screen but I cant see him.

Ahhh Its because he gets destroyed from each layout because hes a global , so after exiting the building hes not there. How do i get him to spawn again.

Thanks Lord Shiva, That tutorial is pretty much exactly what i was doing. But I'm making the player overlap the exit box and hold down to exit the building. If the player is set to global, he doesnt reappear but i still have control. If hes not global, he just reappears at the start of the level, not at the position he exited the building from.

Thank for the help everyone.

I created a global variable with a value of 0. When exiting my building, 1 is added to the global variable.

On the start of layout for the previous level, I checked the global variable and if it was 1, i positioned the player at the exit box. Your help was incredible. Thanks for the amazing support,
