Dude, couple of tips;

Write a descriptive thread title, simply help is rubbish! Same with your last thread title of need help.

Elaborate on your problem ... what do you mean the game continues off? Is this the score? Number of lives? what position you was in when you died? What?

I would assume you are changing game attributes during runtime and never resetting these values!

Whats supposed to happen when you click play? Start from beginning?

Find your rule that controls how / when your character dies...
and do something like this example:
When character health = 0, spawn actor "Game Over"
Then in the game over actor,
When actor receives touch, reset scene.

Forget the video dude you need to show your code.

I just want to be able to reset the scene there is loads of code

Hey,
when you reset the scene make sure you set all the attributes back!
When I read that "when you click play again all is where it was left" I immediately thought that you don't set the attributes back!

I have already given you the answer here!!!

When its game over you'll be changing a game attribute to say game over is true or something to that effect. Put a rule on your play button from the main menu that says;

When touch is pressed

Change attribute game.gameover (or whatever you've called it) to false.
Change attribute game.currentscore (or whatever you've called it) to 0.

actualy im not using any attributes for the game over, i am simply just making a rule when actor collides with game over, interpolate game over to center of screen then change scene to main menu, thats it. but i will play around with some attributes, i dunno how to do this but.

You need to reset any attributes back to their starting point in your change scene rule before the change scene behavior.

ok i made a rule when game is over
change attribute "highscore points to 0" so it set it to zero,
the way my highscore works is,
timer: every 1 second do -> change attribute "game.highscore" to ->"game.highscore+1"

thats how the whole highscore works, so how would i make it so this resets every time you restart ect..?

Alright, just to be clear we are still trying to get the score to reset after you lose the round correct?

If you have a proper score attribute created, on your scene/level you just need a simple change attribute game.score to: 0 You can place this on a generic actor off screen, or in the background. It just needs to see this each time it loads that level, so that it is the first thing it does. Since we don't know how the rest of your game is constructed, you may tun into more issues. It looks like a "endless-dropper", so the method I mentioned as well as methods @beefy_clyro and @FryingBaconStudios mentioned should work. If it does not, there is something else going on and the best way for us to help is a screen shot of your code. It will tell us if something is amiss.
