Help, i am stuck in creating a death mechanic

[somber finch]

You could keep a checkpoint position variable in your player and if a checkpoint has been reached, respawn the player there on death

[jolly kelp]

Yeah, thats basically what i did for a game awhile back. You would want to set your Player coordinates to Vector2(XRespawnPoint,YRespawnPoint) or something of the sort to replace the reload scene line

So when the player collides with the checkpoint it sets a new spawn point?

[jolly kelp]

yes, that is what i would do, you can store the other checkpoints as like CheckPoint1 CheckPoint2 and so on, and the current checkpoint as something like CurrentCheckPoint and if you store them as a vector2 you can just do something like $Playerthingy.position = CurrentCheckPoint

and when going to a new checkpoint just do CurrentCeckPoint = CheckPoint2

i made a function on the main script and used it on the death function, it outputs an error though

[jolly kelp]

Your steering player to those coordinates, but you need to set $player to those coordinates

Setting

like this?

[jolly kelp]

Yeah, it should be that way

[gray root]

i already set player as a variable though is the $ necessary?

[jolly kelp]

Hmm I dont know. The way I normally do it is just to use the raw link, in your case $Charachter/player, I don't have a lot of experience with replacing those as variables

[gray root]

i will try raw linking it

[jolly kelp]

Ok, sorry I couldn't help more

[gray root]

it's okay, thank you for the help

[gray root]

I found the solution. i put the respawn and death function in the same script. im an idiot🤣
