    Hi , I wanted to make a objPlayer in one room to be doing a path, as in a cutscene but when I add : path_start(path11, 1 ,path_action_stop, true) , the path is in every room. Is there a way it can be done in a certain room and destroyed after it is performed?

    Legacy GM Is it possible to save a path mid-way through? (Data Structure method)

    If I use a data structure (ds_map/list/grid) to save data, and an NPC is in the middle of a path, is it possible to save the position of the path the NPC is on, and then load it in WITH the NPC resuming it's path? I'm using path_position and path_start btw.

    My top-down game uses procedurally generated levels, and I use the function mp_linear_path_object() after the map is completed to make sure there is a clear path to the exit. In theory, this function should return true if a path is found and false if it isn't. My problem is that in rare...
