How do I keep instance variables from resetting between layouts?

I want the engine to remember if I've killed a certain monster in a certain level. I have instance variables which say if the monster is dead or not.

problem is, when I go to another layout and return, the monster is alive again... How do I keep instance variables from resetting?

You are looking for the 'Persist' behaviour. Add this to the enemy and it will retain its state and values between layouts.

I love you.
