I have a room that has entrances from three other rooms AND two of those rooms have 2 exits that both lead to the same room...



So upshot is that the green and the blue room have two separate exits that lead to the ONE room and each exit appears on a different location in that one room.


I was using

Code: [Select]

if(Game.PrevScene=="stairs_right_inn")
{
actor.SkipTo(195, 205);
actor.Direction = DI_DOWN;
}
if(Game.PrevScene=="stairs_right_inn")
{
actor.SkipTo(830, 205);
actor.Direction = DI_DOWN;
}
if(Game.PrevScene=="enter-left")
{
actor.SkipTo(514, 716);
actor.Direction = DI_UP;
}
as it can load a new actor start pos based on the last scene but HOW do i handle the green and blue room... where that last scene call will not work as there are TWO different positions in the main room from two different exits in each of those rooms.

Whenever you need to pass information from one scene to another, use global variables.
In the original scene, when leaving it, set a global variable to some value:

Code: WME Script

1. global InnStairsExitType = "left";
2. Game.ChangeScene("blah.scene");
3.  

And in the new scene, check the value of the variable and set the initial position appropriately.

Code: WME Script

1. if(Game.PrevScene=="stairs_right_inn")
2. {
3.   global InnStairsExitType;
4.   if(InnStairsExitType == "left")
5.   {
6.     // we came from the left entrance
7.     actor.SkipTo(195, 205);
8.     actor.Direction = DI_DOWN; 
9.   }
10.   else
11.   {
12.     // we came from the right entrance
13.     actor.SkipTo(514, 716);
14.     actor.Direction = DI_UP;
15.   } 
16. }
17.
