GameMaker Studio 2 D&D blocks - Go To Next Room
9In this video we are learning how and when to use Game Maker Studio 2 Drag and Drop Block which is called:
Go To Next Room
This block is part of the Rooms group of blocks.
It is in the first row, second from the left and it has an arrow pointing to the right on it as icon.

In our game player Object will collide with door (portal) Object which will trigger opening next level/scene (Next Room).
