If I were to put together my entire map for a level I'm making, it would generate too much lag, so I was wondering how to go through a door and load a new map without making it into a new level, because I want the character to be able to return to the originating room.

Maybe you could set up triggerzones to activate all the enemies and dynamic objects before you entered a room.

IN THEORY you could place a marker (win zone) where the player entered the new level to "exit" it to the new/old level. Just replicate the level, rename it and place it between levels before building the game. I think it should work, although not seamlessly like I think you want to, and would necesitate duplicating all levels.

I'm dizzy....

RE: the trigger zones.

let's say i made a map, with no dynamic entities, and it ran at 30 FPS.

Then i add all the dynamic entities, and it drops to 20 FPS.

If i made it so you have lots of trigger zones spawning enemies when you get close enough to them, would that INCREASE or DECREASE the framerate.

Thanks

I am on POST APPROVAL status, so i'm not posting as much as i would otherwise

I'm not positively sure. I'm assuming it would either increase the framerate, or not make a difference.
