i purchased, and maticuously transferred all the variables, and scripts to one of my scenes. Just to familiarize myself and understand the math around it before spreading it to other pre existing scenes. (Im too far in to start fresh haha)

And im having some trouble, i can walk freely around my open world, but as soon as i enter the scene where i input the status menu and variables, i get the "you are dead" dialogue and sent back to my bed in my house. What do i need to modify to let me live so i can actually tinker with it lol

Hello! Sorry for the late response, quite busy lately. Okay so first off. You will need to study on how to create scripts over at your project that affects your entire world that keep track of the stats of your character using variables and such. So that wherever you go around any scene your stats remain the way they are depending on whatever circumstances they face. Let's say in scene 1 your character gets damaged by 1. It should carry over to the script that affects your HP. Therefore if you go to the next scene as long as you have that script in that same scene. It will update the stats of your character. It's quite difficult to explain but there are tutorials online on how to go about that. I hope I made sense. Here's a photo of where you can make scripts.

I believe your character is dying whenever you go to the next scene because your character's life starts at ZERO in the next scene? and therefore the MENU template i created kills your character at zero. Maybe you can remove the "You are dead" scripts that sends it to another scene first. Then later on add that once you have figured everything out. Also, you might need to study on how to create rpg's on gb studio first and the scale of it before creating a project because I personally had to stop my dreams of making an rpg because it is too much for me. haha. I ended up getting stuck in so much obstacles.

Not sure if this is all too complex for you but basically you need to set the script of your characters level that corresponds to stats.

So here you see defense, intelligence, agility, max HP, HP so on and so forth. This is what sets the player's initial stats in the beginning of the game. The variables check out accordingly. Now when player levels up these values will change. But what you need to fix would be the scene your character enters in. So when your character enters a new scene it shouldn't have the event If ($HP <=0) YOU ARE DEAD below:

As seen in this image, your next scenes shouldnt have this anymore so your character doesnt die. You just need to have a fresh scene and allow your character to go to that scene without this. 
Did I get it right?
