Bugs with my episode

I'm making a mini episode and I'd like to have it done in 13 days. I have a deadline but it's a secret ;)
But there are some bugs in it.
I have a warp level where the first room, which is the room the player spawns in, is one screen. You can exit through either through the left or right.
Going down a warp pipe in the middle of the room takes you to the main level, which is a hallway full of pipes that can't be entered, except two; one on the left where the player comes out and one on the right where you go to the destination somewhere else in the world map.
My problem is that if you enter through World 1's level, and move off the screen, you go to World 2.
And if you enter through World 2's level, you go to World 1.
Basically, every warp in the level leads to World 1 when you're in World 2, and to World 2 when you're in World 1.
If this is confusing here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ClyO9e6__4

Another bug I have is that in cutscenes in the final level, I have the player control during events set to Up so the player can't move. This used to work but suddenly for no reason now it doesn't. In fact, none of the controls for the cutscenes work, which lets the player move freely during them, which isn't supposed to happen.

Okay, did you set the coordinates of the level on the map? If yes, that is the issue and it should be done via as soon as you go in the pipe to transition worlds (which should leave the level).

If you die with no "No restart last level on death" enabled or exit in a level with no set locations to another world or levels involved you respawn at the last point where you even entered the level to begin with. Maybe this is why it happened on you. If that's not the case then let us know.

I posted a video about the warp bug and linked it to this post.

This usually happens if you have an Event loop (an event that triggers another event and so on until it triggers the first event again) that don't have a Player Control checked. Since the events that don't have a control checked are eventually triggered after the one that has a control checked, the non-control event overrides the control event, giving the player free movement. Double-check all of your events to make sure none of them leave a control unchecked.

As for the level bug, I'm not sure what's causing it. You may just have to make duplicate lvl files.
