@ joshkrz: I don't know exactly how you're making the transitions, but what if you got rid of the player temporarily until the ground has changed?
In a good number of projects I've worked on I've learned it's very nice to just have a display of your character that the player can't control at certain times. Like during dialogue or maybe the player is using a special ability that allows him to be in multiple places at once.
There is no one answer to how you choose to solve your problem. It could be anything. It's just up to you to find what works best for you.
@J_dude320: Of course I'm in the competition. Competetiveness runs in blood. I plan on making a Hand of Odd game using Flash. It would be a lot easier to do in Game Maker, but I'm forcing myself to learn new programming languages. Hand of Odd being a RTS game will bring a fresh breath of innovation into Oddworld fan games. I hope you all do well in your own projects. Even though it's a competetion I have no problem helping anyone. As a indepent game developer myself I know how awesome it is to have people to cooperate with.
