Ok I think I understand what you guys are saying, would you recommend creating an invisible checkpoint depending in which way I exit the layout. This in turn changes my global to either 1 or 2..etc then upon re-entering the layout it would know where I came from ie North or East and position me in that location. Then another question if I wanted to make a bonus cloud level or whatever that's in the sky Mario style. Depending where player falls from above could I correlate that to the below layout upon re-entering?

I have a Plaformer game that I am working on to help me learn Construct 2 while creating something. Right now I have a preset starting position on layout1 ("Level 1"), but when I leave this level by climbing a ladder above which loads layout2 ("Level 2") I want to be able to then climb down that ladder and it set me to where I left off. I can't figure this out, seems simple but I can't get it from starting me back at the very beginning of Level 1.

Thanks a lot, that did the trick for me as well!

I've been working on my first game and progressing through tutorials. Each level was me learning new techniques to implement. Today I tried a Save as Project thinking it works just like save as in Windows. But now it seems all my work is corrupt lost. Is there anyway I can get this back or am I SOL? I have a capx.autosave file and the otherfiles that were moved to the new folder but it won't open keeps giving me error, can't find TileBackground.png in Texture folder it says.
