here's a more thorough description of my problem, My game has two main characters that I can switch between at any time. I do this via Buttons on the top gui menu. As of now, I just have placeholder images for the sprites for the characters so there is no animation yet. When testing my game everything looks fine when the first room loads, but as soon as I select the second character from the gui, his view changes to the one that I have set for the first character.
here are some screenshots to help explain better. (http://imgur.com/a/2JXpi#0)
edit: found out what the problem was,

this was set to 1, set it to 0 and everything works fine now
this setting overrides the character view for this particular room.
