Connecting Two Scenes
How do i connect 2 scenes? Somebody told me it’s as simple as stamping 1 game scene into another but I can’t find the other. Can anybody help?

So first thing is you need at least two scene but they can be super small.
Each scene needs a level link in it somewhere. Level links are just gadgets that can be triggered by logic at any time to transition into the next scene. Ideally one would be marked as an exit and the other one marked as an entrance. Every level we set up generally has an entrance and an exit gadget somewhere in the level but you can also have 2 way links and also multiple of each in a scene too.
Create a new map and place your two levels into the map. You should see little arrow nodes around the edge of the scenes. These are the level links and you can wire these together to create larger progressions.
Hope this is helpful :) Peter -
Bear in mind that the doorway gadget is what petwr means when he says ‘level link’

Hi! I was SUPER confused too. Here is what they don't tell you (really they need a tutorial for this or something....):
Dreams are two or more scenes put together. That's why there are so few right now. The "make dreams" section didn't even show up in my menu of things to make until I had completed and published TWO game scenes. Only then did it show up.
Once two or more scenes are published (make sure it is playable or public) scroll all the way to the right on the list of things to make (scenes, audio, sculpture, effects, etc). At the very end to the right will be Dreams. Select that.
Once inside your "Dream" it will look like the create Collection menu. Go to search and select your scenes and plop them in there.
There is an arrow to the left of the screen. This signifies where the player will first enter when entering your dream. You can click on it and drag lines/strings to whichever dream you want the player to start in.
Note that none of this was explained, I had a 2-hour headache trying to figure this out.
Also note that on each scene you will have one or two > arrows. If you only have one, you do not have an exit for that scene. You will need at least one exit in your first scene to connect it to the second scene. If you only have the entrance > arrow, go back to your first scene in edit mode and add an exit.
As Peter complexely stated below, Add a Trigger gadget where you want the exit area to be (it is a green gadget with diagonal lines). Add a Door gadget (light blue with door icon) and scope into it to get its menu. Make sure it is selected as an exit, not an entrance. Then connect a wire from the little tiny Trigger knob on the right of the Trigger gadget (you may have to zoom in to see it) by pressing X or R2 on it. You will now have a wire. Connect this wire to the power icon on the exit Door gadget that you made. Make sure to look at your Trigger zone at all angles by grabbing it with R2. This will show a green sphere where the player will trigger an exit by entering that area. Make sure it is in the right spot. Save and update this scene. Make sure it is Updated and playable and not just quick saved or the new exit > arrow will not show up.
Go back to your Dream or create one if you haven't yet. Delete the old version of your scene if it is still in there and go to search and plop it in there again. Your first scene will now have two > arrow things. One for enter and one for exit. Connect a wire from the exit > arrow to your second scene after plopping it in there.
Seriously they need a tutorial for this. So confusing.
Hope that helps. -
going to jump on this to extend it a little if I can - @Bella_Iris great explanation, thanks.
If I create eg three levels - I have an exit in each level so when I finish level one, it triggers a doorway which I link to level two in the dream, and level two links to level three. The doorway in level 3 set to exit will end the dream.
Good.
Now - what happens if I want to end the dream in the middle of level 1 - eg I lose all my lives? At the moment I only have one level and I'm using a doorway set to exit which works. But once I have more than one level that won't work.
So is there a different method for ending the dream?
