Change Scene to referring scene

Fetaboy

I made a keyboard in my game as a new scene which I call from various other scenes. It would be awesome if the 'Change Scene' behavior had an option to return to the scene which called it. I suppose a workaround would be to simply create an attribute to store the referring scene and write some rules based off of that.
Thanks.

Yeah - you can give each scene a name stored in a variable.

When you're in that scene, have the game remember what it's called.

So if the variable is 'scene number' and you're in scene 1, it'll change the variable: Scene Number = 1.

Then on your paused screen - your keyboard in this case - when you exit that scene, have a set of rules that say

'If Scene Number = 1' then change scene to scene 1

'If Scene Number = 2' then change scene to scene 2

etc

I'm eager to see your keyboard! Quite an ambitious start to your GS career

Using a scene variable is what I ended up doing. The keyboard itself is working perfectly. The game is kind of ambitious and probably won't be done for a few more months. I'm waiting for the tool to test it on my iPhone to come out before I do much more work on it as I need to see what the performance is like with the physics engine on the actual phone.

Sounds intriguing, sir! Look forward to it
