    when player looses on a world the restart button works fine where the player continues at the start of the world where he lost but when rebooting the phone or force closing the app it defaults back to the start of world 1. ;(

    thanks for the reply but yes the START button is set to Start Checkpoint. it saves while game is being played, you loose and you continue on the same level but when restoring phone data is not saved

    Checkpoints only work within a world. It has nothing to do with the access to a world. To access a world you need to make for each world a button. Then the player can access them manually.

    thanks Christoph, I want the player to start world 1 and upon completion it automatically goes to world 2 and so on.
    currently when the player dies in lets say world 4 he automatically continues on the start of that same world 4.
    this is what I want but but when closing the app it does not save. it defaults back to world 1

    hmmm.... this should be saving unless you actually uninstall the app or reboot phone... it resets even if you force quit the app? that doesn't sound right... you may want to get support@buildbox.com involved... keep in mind it takes a day or two for a response

    Good afternoon Heathclose, yes when you force quit the app or lets say the battery on the phone runs out and must turn on the phone again all is lost and player must start at world 1 again.

    I guess I will contact support and see.... will come back and post in case others have the same question later on.

    Not sure if I explained myself not good enough. But everything is working as it should in my opinion.

    You need to set up for each world a button to have a separate access. If you only have one button set up in the Main UI it always will go to the world you have it linked to which in your case is world 1. So set up also buttons for world 2, world 3, world 4 and so on, and when the player comes back he can select the last world he unlocked playing the last time. There is no other way to make this work. As said, checkpoints only work within the same world. So lets say you have a button (restart checkpoint) that takes you to world 4 and you have 4 scenes set up in this world, each with a checkpoint. then the user can continue at the checkpoint he died the last by selecting world 4 in the Main UI. But once you past world 4 and go to world 5 you need a new button to take you to the beginning or a checkpoint of this specific world.

    Christoph thanks, I ended up doing scenes within one world and now it saves as you said.

    need to set up 2 actions
    one action type is "Set Checkpoint"
    and the other action should be "next checkpoint"
    on the start scene you will place the :next checkpoint" action where you want that start scene to end.
    Ever other scene you start with "Set Checkpoint where the character will start that scene and then place action "next checkpoint" where that scene ends and on to the next... you will have to play with the placement of the "set checkpoint" to avoid merging the next or prior scene into the current one.
    remember that you can set these actions as invisible so that the player does not see it. in my case "Set checkpoint" is invisible but the "next checkpoint" is setup as a coin so that the player knows it needs to get to that location on that scene.
    check game here.
