So I am currently making a survival-horror styled game and I do not want my enemies to reset every single time I reenter a room. Seems like the obvious choice would be to make the rooms persistent, but for some reason, all control of my player is lost upon reentering a persistent room.
Anyone have a pointer? Thank you!
Personally, I would recommend that you develop a 'save' system instead of using a persistent room. It will be necessary in the long run, unless you don't want people to be able to save the game, and give you more control.
However, a persistent room in and of itself shouldn't cause your problem. You haven't really provided enough to say what is, but if I were to guess I would guess that either (a) your player controller isn't persistent, and those doesn't transfer between rooms or (b) you are perhaps transferring some objects and then getting duplicates that interfere with each other.
If you're using GMS 2 I would recommend the debugger, as I think it would be better for this type of problem. However, show_debug_message is also a good idea, nd if you're not familiar with it this may help:
Using show_debug_message.
