How do I Layouts!?

In game I enter a new layout when I go into shop.

When I leave shop I go back to my initial layout.

Is there a way to run this so that when I go into my shop layout, it puts my initial layout to the side (pauses or something). This way when I come back it is not running on start of layout events again but instead where ever I left off.

Or maybe I should not be using layouts for this scenario?

Depending on how complex the shop is, you could have a layer (not layout) that is invisible and make it visible when you want to open the shop. It acts as a menu and this would all be in the same layout.

That is what I have been doing with other things. I am up to 4 layers now, so I wanted to A: make my game less cluttered on the development side B: learn layouts

At this point I save the game as I enter shot and then load the game as I leave shop. But this means when I spend in shop its erased by the load xD ... so I am tinkering with that right now

What kind of stuff are you trying to 'save' in the layout when you leave it?

The problem was that it would run on start of layout going back to the previous layout. I simply restricted where you could get access to the store.. Thank you for trying to help me out! :)
