Hey Forum,

I've been experimenting with a "Main Menu" feature in my game, currently, when you're in game, hitting the Main Menu button runs the "game_restart();" function.

The only problem is, that doesn't seem to restart the game like I'm wanting it to, what I want it to do is when you hit Main Menu, have it restart the game as if you were just initially launching the .exe, so all the variables go back to how they are every time you launch the .exe

Occasionally this system seems to leave variables in there, like having my nextroom variable set to an in-game room, so when the menu fades from the intro to the actual menu, it fades to said in-game room.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Anselm.

Twelve, please read the original post before you comment.

game_restart() will set your game to same stage as you started the exe.
You could use a controller object which is persistent and before you use game_restart() you set it to have some variable which tells you which room you want to start with. Not 100% sure if persistent works with game_restart() though.
