Warp next room at precise coordonate

[Zanguy]

Hi everyone, am new to GameMaker.
I was wondering how to set up a system of warp for moving to another room,
something like in SuperMetroid (and yes I want to keep all power-up, life ...).

Is there any class like "interface" in GameMaker ?

Thanks for your help guys !

There are a handful of tutorials on youtube. Just search for "game maker room transitions" or warp rooms and you'll find them. Most are brief, like 10-15 minute tutorials.

Thanks for your response.
Is there any "interface" class (like in Java or another language object) in GameMaker ?

No there are no interface classes like Java. A great idea for room warping is to simply use global variables. A warp object would be stationed at the door of something and when you touch it he would modify the warp variables based on his own instance variables

Ok thanks for your advice ! Global variables stay when you change room ?

Yes. Global variables are variables owned by the system and not any one object. These variables are constant no matter the room.
