How do I set a Sprites position depending on the previous state/scene?

Phaser 3
1

I have three (3) scenes.

My sprite is spawning on the left side, and walking towards the right. When my Sprite reaches the right border of the scene it changes to scene 2 and the Sprite yet again spawns on the left border of the new scene.

How ever if I move left, and want to go back to previous scene, how to I set my sprites position to be on the right? (As I’m moving from right to left in this case, which would make this logical)?

Thanks.

I’ve only had success in doing this by creating an entire new matching scene with only the spawnpoint changed. There surely must be an easier less heavy way for executing this.

Hi,
You don’t necessarly need a scene per level, you can make a system of door (can be invisible), the door contain the data needed to load the new level and the future position of the player.
When the player overlap with the door:
-> camera fadeOut
-> load the new level
-> reset player position
-> camera fadeIn

You can sleep/wake the first scene.

Hi friend. Do you have something in the API or an example? Will something like this work?

enterDoor: function(player, door) {
console.log(‘entering door that will take you to ‘+door.targetTilemap+’ on x:’+door.targetX+’ and y:’+door.targetY);
},

Yes something like this.
I create a door object layer in Tiled, add a door object to it with properties:
destination: map2 // name of room2 tilemap
playerPositionX: 10
playerPositionY: 100
And with a function changeRoom(door) {
// Destroy all map1 stuff
//Load the new tilemap to door.properties.destination
Player.setPosition(door.properties.playerPositionX, …)
// Load all new map stuff
}

I will look into it. Hopefully this will work.

If you really wanted to maintain a global state you can have one object to control the behaviour and import and manipulate that throughout your scene. I’m suggesting this as a quick fix of course. I would recommend the suggested approaches over this.
