I'm not sure if anyone has addressed this yet, but I'm having a bear of a time with something.

Basically my problem lays in jumping between levels. I get the gist of swapping from one level to a generic other level, but what I want is to swap between a few levels using one as a base-point. (ie. Catacombs-Coastal setup in T4)

I have level A (Coastal wad) and aside from the running around on that level, there are three other areas to 'jump' into -- level B (Cleo wad), level C (Set wad), and level D (Cat wad). What I want is to run around level A, zip into level B, go back to A -- at the same point from which I left, move onto C, go back to A ... so forth and so on ... which will lead to a final (regular) jump to level E (NewCity wad).

Now, I have read the manual (including going into the Cat and Coastal prjs to see how it was done -- no help there) and I've done a bit of experimenting, but I end up with the same thing. I can go from A to B, signal a finish and go back to A, but it starts A all over again. Not what I want.

Anyone else have a clue or advice?

If you use a Lara_start_pos object at the end of your level, when you return to the level Lara starts at that point. It works, i've used it. It is explained in the manual, but it took me a few times to get it right. Make sure the lara_start_pos is in the level before the end_level trigger, or you'll be stuck in a loop from one level to the other
