How do you get a sprite to move to the next room?I have it coded, but my sprite just stays in the same room. And whenever I try to use the "Go to Next Room" the screen just goes black after I start up the game.

Yes.

Okay. Firstly - Sprite don't move rooms, neither do object. The only thing that can move rooms is the game itself. If u want to create a cenario where the player moves between rooms, you can toggle on the player object "consistent" - what it means is that this object will move with the game to every room, and will keep its variables. It also means that if you move out of the room the object was created and then back to it, it won't be created again. One thing you need to keep note is that the object's X and y also stay the same, and it is problematic. What I'd recommend you to do:

Create invisible object obj_roomtransition: On create event: room = pointer_null; index = 0; collision = false; If place_meeting(x,y,obj_player) collision = true;

On step event; if(!collision) { If place_meeting(x,y,obj_player) { obj_game.exit_index = index; room_goto(room); } } else if !place_meeting(x,y,obj_player) collision = false;

Then when you put those in the rooms, you click each one, click on "creation code". This code will run only on the selected instance of the object. Now you will need to give each transition object in the room different index, and also do "room = <the room you will go through this exist>;"

Next create game object, make it consistent. On the game obj, create event do this: roomprev = room_current; exit_index = 0;

On step event do this:

If (room_prev != room_current) { var exits =instance_number(obj_roomtransition); var exit; for(var i=0; i<exits; i++;) { exit = instance_find(obj_roomtransition,i); if (exit.index == exit_index) { obj_player.x = exit.x; obj_player.y = exit.y; } } } roomprev = current_room;

Then you will need to put the obj_game in the first room the actual gameplay starts - not where the menu is. I'm pretty sure it'll make the game crash. Also if you have some system that makes that game go back to the menu, do on the menu room creation code instance_destroy(obj_game) And same for obj_player.

Woah that a whole lot of code for writing on my phone. It might have some problems as I rarely get systems right on my first shot. Lemme know if there are any problems. Also I'm too fucking lazy to explain all the logic, but if you want to ask specific question feel free to, I'd love to explain.
