Ok so I'm making a crash bandicoot fan game and I was wondering could you make an object appear at a certain place wen the room restart without using the persistent option.. Cause I want everything other object to jump to start except the main character.

Do you mean like if the main player dies, he will restart to like a check point, and you want all the object objects in the room back to their original spot?

Exactly!

if the objects you want to restart are not destroyed during the game try instead of game_restart() when the player dies:

with(all)
{
   if object_index!=obj_mainplayer // or whatever the main player's object index is (the ! means not)
   { x=xstart; y=ystart}
}

But if the instances are destroyed, this would be a little harder I think

This is very easy and it's something I use a lot.

In the Create event of the title screen, define three global variables:

global.checkpoint =-1
global.sx = 0
global.sy = 0

When you collide with a checkpoint, let the player perform this code:

global.sx = x
global.sy = y
global.checkpoint = room

in the Create event of the player, also put this:

if(global.checkpoint == room){
  x = global.sx
  y = global.sy
}

Note: you might want to set global.checkpoint to -1 again when the player reaches the goal of the level.

If this helps you, please show me your gratitude by trying out my games
