On your player add a public variable

public Collider currentCheckPoint;

Then create empty game objects with a box collider set to "Trigger" and create a script like this, make sure you replace "PlayerScript" with the name of your player's main control script and "Playerobject" with the name of your players gameobject.

void OnTriggerEnter() {

 PlayerScript myPlayer = (PlayerScript) GameObject.Find("Playerobject").GetComponent("PlayerScript");

 myPlayer.currentCheckPoint = this;

}

Now you can find out where the check point is when he dies and move the player.

Inside the player's script you can have a function like this:

void PlayerDied() {

 this.transform.position = currentCheckPoint.position;

}

Hey Apexuni, your going to need to learn how to translate between these two computer languages to get the most out of this forum. Also, Javascript and Java are two entirely different languages.

This tutorial has exactly what you need, a set of check points that are activated and deactivated as you walk over them. Just read the tutorial and lift the code from the resources.

This is extremely unhelpful, and it's clearly not an answer, and this is an incredibly old topic, and you double-posted.

Javascript? Try this.

private var originalSpawn : boolean = true; private var respawn2 : boolean; private var respawn1 : boolean;

function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider) { //You'll have to make a death script and make a boolean true false command. if (dead == true) { if (originalSpawn == true) { //Put your coordinates of the original spawn point. transform.position = Vector3(x, y, z); } }

if (other.gameObject.tag == "Checkpoint1") { originalSpawn = false; respawn1 = true; respawn2 = false; }

if (respawn1 == true) { if (dead == true) { //Put your coordinates of the spawn point. transform.position = Vector3(x, y, z); } }

if (other.gameObject.tag == "Checkpoint2") { originalSpawn = false; respawn2 = true; respawn1 = false; }

if (respawn2 == true) { if (dead == true) { //Put your coordinates of the spawn point. transform.position = Vector3(x, y, z); } } }

Hopefully this works.
