To optimise my game for performance, I decided to create a small map which is my town. In the Storyboard, I called it "Town Hub".
A door (placed at the entrance to a Building) in the "Town Hub" map requires a specific key to open. Beyond the door lies a Win Zone.

The Win Zone takes the Player to a map (a reconstruction of the Building's) Interior.

The Player is free to leave the Interior via a new Win Zone. The Storyboard has an output line to the "Town Hub" map.

I tested this all using Standalone Test Mode and also a true Standalone game.

In both cases, the key was present in the "Town Hub" map despite having been collected.

All help would be much appreciated!

Did you ever get an answer to this? It's kind of disheartening to see this go so long with no answer. I mean, not even from the developer. Was thinking I'd give this engine a go yet now I might just hold off seeing the lack of feedback on the forums.

No. I guess everyone's too busy. Thanks for checking though.

Not many Max users come here now unfortunately. The majority are on the Discord which is generally very busy.
I can point you in the right direction but for what you want to achieve you cannot use Win Zones.
They will simply load in the levels fresh with everything as it was.

You need to be using Spawn Markers to jump levels.
Here is a General guide on how this is done. I think this will be what your looking for.

Great! Thanks!

BTW, do any of your entities disappear from your map when you save? It keeps happening to me.
