                }

            }

        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log("File doesnt exist");
            
            PlayerMovement.Instance.health = PlayerMovement.Instance.maxHealth;
            PlayerMovement.Instance.unlockedDash = false;
            PlayerMovement.Instance.unlockedDoubleJump = false;
            
        }
        
    }

}

This is how my SaveData is set up, My player controller is named PlayerMovement, my “bench” is a typewriter

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class TypewriterCheck : MonoBehaviour
{
    public bool interacted;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        
    }
    private void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D _collision)
    {
        if(_collision.CompareTag("Player") && Input.GetButtonDown("Interact"))
        {
            interacted = true;
            SaveData.Instance.typewriterSceneName = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name;
            SaveData.Instance.typewriterPos = new Vector2(gameObject.transform.position.x, gameObject.transform.position.y);
            SaveData.Instance.SaveTypewriter();
            SaveData.Instance.SavePlayerData();
        }
       
    }
    void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D _collision)
    {
        if (_collision.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            interacted = false;
        }
    }

}

My player when i load the game is not loading in at the typewriter position

So far, I cannot see any issues with your code.
I have also tested it out and my end and can see no problem with the code yet.

To identify your issue, could you show me a video or screenshot of:
1) Your Player dying and respawning [In the same scene as the typewriter and a different scene.]
2) Your Scene’s Console & Game Manager object [Can be found in the Dont Destroy On Load section of the scene]
3) Your GameManager.cs

I’m unsure if it’s possible to share a video via discord images as you did earlier, but if it doesn’t work you can send the video via Imgur link

Weirdly enough I opened unity 2 days ago and since then it has worked perfectly with no errors whatsoever

[Joseph Tang]

That’s great to hear that it’s fine.

If you ever encounter the same issue again, do tell us and send some more videos or screenshots so that we may address it for you if it happens again.
