Help with Checkpoints

[TehFifthHorseman]

Can someone please help/tell me how to properly activate/program checkpoints? I am able to spawn them just fine (new_checkpoint, not the old one) but I want to make it so that when the player dies, instead of starting at the beginning, the players starts at the last saved checkpoint. I know that there is a respawn_at_checkpoint hotspot, but that does not do much for me.

Can someone please tell me how to make it so that when a player dies, the player will respawn at the last checkpoint he entered.

btw, I have objectives in my custom levels such as destroy_all. I don't know if having objectives is relevant, but figured i'd add that information in there.

I would greatly appreciate whoever helps me

Thank you.

P.S. I've been working on a very immersive/long campaign that will come out soon, so having checkpoints will upgrade it very much.

That sounds really exciting

I saw your PM, and replied to it. I figured out yesterday that you're basically going to have to mod those hotspot scripts, or simply make a new hotspot to make it work the way I assume you want it to (e.g. respawn at that checkpoint upon death, and not just when you fall off a platform).

I'm easier to reach on the Wolfire discord, if you are interested in joining that. Can keep posting here too, of course, cause some of the modding community isn't on discord.

I added docs for the new checkpoint system just now, if you want to check it out:
