could you post the .sgdk2 file? you can save attachments to posts under the advanced options or you can upload it to an online folder such as box.net


there are a few ways of doing this depending on how you set up your game. the common way is:

1. Make a 2 point path at the location of the pit to create a rectangle.
2. Make a 1 point path at the beginning where you want the player to return to.
You can use Shift+T to make the path snap to tile locations

3. Create these rules on the pit path in the rules editor:
     a. If IsSpriteWithin
          Sprite: (whatever the name of your player sprite is)
          RelativePosition: CenterMiddle
     b. Do TransportToPlan
          Sprite: (whatever the name of your player sprite is)
          Path: (whatever the name of your beginning path is)
          Alignment: CenterMiddle
          Make sure "EndIf/EndWhile" is checked

if you need any more help, let us know ;)
