set position right before fade in

[Evilized79]

I'm making a scrolling platformed, and i have a fade in and out before a stage starts.
at one point you can go through different doors and the problem i have is that when I go through a door and the fade in starts in the next stage you can see the player standing somewhere and then when the fade is done you see the player jump to the position i gave him.

I want the player to be at the point in the stage before the fade in comes, anyone know how to achieve this?

I don't know how you can make the object move before the transition, but I suggest you to create custom transitions (e.g. a black object which opacity is decreased) so you could do it.

To achieve what you want to do, you'll need to set up everything (objects, scrolling) to look right under "Start of Frame" conditions since they happen before the transition fade. Personally, I don't use transitions myself for the lack of control. Instead I cover the screen with a scaled active object (usually a 32x32 active stretched to fit the screen), and fade that away by modifying its alpha-blending coefficient. It's basically three events, one to fill the screen with the active, one to make it a little bit more transparent every frame, and one to remove the object when its fully transparent. This gives me the control I need, and allows me to animate objects while the fade-in is happening.
