Allows players and items to perform special clean up before a level transition.

Pull request with more information and example here.

While very pleased to see this, I suggested it a while back and it was 'no'd':

Does anyone know what has changed that it's been added now?

I suppose the biggest change was that here the implementation work was already done and all Graf had to do was click on one single button to merge.

Gotcha!

I mean, it was dead simple (heh) to implement, and entirely on the zscript side too. Plus doing it right there puts less burden on the event handler and lets players/items clean their own messes.

Well thanks, this will mean the cats of chaos code for following the player around during the game can be massively simplified. I'll have a look at the example and see how it works and can be used.
