Why doesnt my checkpoint system work?

Question

Hi, im currently trying to get a checkpoint system to work in my game, I have a Kill Volume(as shown in picture 1) that when you touch it, it spawns you back at the beginning, as shown in picture 2! alt text

W$$anonymous$$ch spawns you back here!!! alt text

And when you $$anonymous$$t a checkpoint, shown as the other square in picture two, the kill volume should spawn you at the checkpoint(square2) rather than the original spawn point(square 1).

T$$anonymous$$s is my killVolume code, w$$anonymous$$ch sends you to the original starting zone

 var dest: Transform; // drag the destination object here
 
 
 function OnTriggerEnter(other: Collider){
       if (other.tag == "Player"){
     // move the player and align it to the dest object:
     other.transform.position = dest.position;
     other.transform.rotation = dest.rotation;

I have t$$anonymous$$s so far as code to spawn me at square two

static var dest: Transform;

function OnTriggerEnter(item : Collider) {

if(item.tag == "Player")

{

"RestartScript".dest.Transform = "Checkpoint1".Transform; } }

It obviously not working, w$$anonymous$$ch is where you all come in. Any ideas on what I could change for the checkpoint script? I have it to where it will respawn the player at the original spot(square1) when I die, but when I $$anonymous$$t the checkpoint and die, it doesnt spawn me at the checkpoint(square2).

On your "Kill Volume" add a variable called somet$$anonymous$$ng like "RespawnPosition" of type Transform like so.

 var RespawnPosition:Transform;

Also add a tag to your kill volume called "deathzone" or somet$$anonymous$$ng similar.

In your checkpoint script write t$$anonymous$$s for the OnTriggerEnter function.

 function OnTriggerEnter(other:Collider){
     var killzone : GameObject;
     killzone = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("deathzone");
     killzone.GetComponent(killVolume).RespawnPosition = transform;
 }

Now when respawning the player (on your kill volume) do.

 function OnTriggerEnter(other: Collider){
     if (other.tag == "Player"){
         // move the player and align it to the dest object:
         other.transform.position = RespawnPosition.position;
         other.transform.rotation = RespawnPosition.rotation;
     }
 }

T$$anonymous$$s will make sure that your kill volume knows at w$$anonymous$$ch point to respawn the player and it will also make sure that the kill volume actually spawns the player at that point.
