Character Selection Menus with Drag and Drop GameMaker Studio 2

How do we transfer data from room to room in GameMaker Studio? Normally objects are destroyed when a room is ended, so data does not flow. This video will show a "game_data" controller object that uses persistence to survive the destruction process that takes down all other objects. You can use this approach to store any data you want between rooms, so it certainly isn't applicable only to character select screens!
