Shoot, sorry I didn't notice the comment sooner. This was done in Clickteam Fusion 2.5 and was modified from some stuff I found online: https://www.construct.net/en/forum/construct-2/how-do-i-18/replay-meatboy-55099
Basically: player movement and animation was recorded every tick and then added to an array. When player dies, make them semi transparent, turn off movement + collisions and make them follow the array. Make a new player at spawn location and respective array then have the player control that instead.
