    Lets say I can enter a scene from different places and I would like to return back to the same scene as I came from, is there anyway to do that ?

    You mean the previous scene you were on, or the current scene that you are already on?

    The previous scene, say I make some kind of settings scene the user can goto with a key press or something, after finished there I want to return to the scene where the user was before that.

    If the playable character was on the previous scene then you can use the "change to scene of character" action part - alternatively, you could store the current scene into a Lua variable before changing to the menu scene, then use that variable to go back to the previous scene.

    For example...

    execute a script >
    prev_scene = game.CurrentScene
    show scene/menu "menu"

    Now to go back to the previous scene when done you can use the execute a script action part & just inverse the script you wrote above, like so...
    game.CurrentScene = prev_scene

    It should take you back to the scene you stored in the prev_scene Lua variable you created.
