I think the easiest way is just to send you a few of the files of The Path of Light. If you want, PM me a mail.
In a few words, when you create a variable in the beginning, you also create a twin variable. At save/checkpoint, you copy the variable values to the twin values. When you die and restart, you restore the variable values from their twin variables and the reader is sent to the beginning of a scene (well, there is a way to be sent to a particular line within a scene).
