    hi, i was wondering how to open a scene within a scene, and when the new scene is closed return to the old scene. I am able to enter the new scene, but when i try and return to the old scene it return but is frozen.

    Help would be appreciated. Thanks
     
    Try using break...

    Maybe it will help if we knew what you were doing?
    Is it to do with the menu or PokéDex, things like that?
    Or is it a custom script that you're calling from?

    its a custom script. Heres the script part where its calling the new scene highlighted in red
    Spoiler:


    and this is the script its calling
    Spoiler:


    In that second scene when the hit x i would like it to return to the original scene.
    thanks
     
    Try using:
    Code: 
    scene=OptionScene.new
screen=OptionSceneStart.new(scene)
screen.pbStartScreen
    And add this to you script, at the very bottom:
    Code: 
    class OptionSceneStart
  def initialize(scene)
    @scene=scene
  end

  def pbStartScreen
    @scene.openscene
  end
end

    hmm. that didnt seem to fix it, im not sure if its updating properly because it dos return to the first scene but doesnt allow for me to use my arrow keys.
    here is a video example

    A scene is nothing more than a glorified class, containing its own separate update loops. Personally I'm not a fan of how Essentials handles scenes (by dividing them in classes and then with that awkward call). You could easily set something up along the lines of
    Code: 
    class Scene
  
  def initialize
    # Initialize your main elements of the scene here
    self.main # call to the main loop of the scene
  end
  
  def openscene
    # Do whatever you want here when the scene first opens
  end
  
  def endscene
    # Dispose all your sprites here and such
  end
  
  def main
    # If you want to do something specific for when your scene opens
    self.openscene
    # The main loop of the scene, which is the main body of the update structure
    # This loop will take over the other loop you had running
    loop do
      # Do all your graphics, input and various updates here
      break if #(whatever parameter you do for breaking the scene)
    end
    # After the loop breaks (i.e. scene is closed) trigger all the closing
    # methods and/or disposals
    self.endscene 
  end
    
end
    And the scene in question would be loaded from within another scene by a simple Scene.new. I've annotated pretty much everything in the class itself. But what it does is
    call scene > initialize content > run the main loop > (after loop breaks) end scene​
    And as soon as the main loop of the scene is broken, it will close itself and return to the state of the previous scene it was called from.
