Multiple Checkpoints question [SOLVED] - Roenlond - 05-03-2011

Alright guys, I'm gonna be needing your assistance here. I've tried to fix it myself but to no avail. What I want is best described with a simple image:

[Image: 3354f2g.png]
As you clearly can see, Dude walks along the path - colliding with two script areas as he goes, which both add their respective checkpoint. But sadly, dude dies after passing the final checkpoint but with my script, dude does not respawn at the checkpoint he last crossed - no, he has to travel all the way back to the first checkpoint since his death count is on 1.

So, my question is, is it possible to make, regardless of the death count, the player respawn at the latest checkpoint he activated? If so, how exactly would I make that happen?

Thanks in advance Smile

You have to activate checkpoints in order. It'll replace previous one.

That is odd, that is what I currently do. When the player runs through checkpoint 1, he activates that one. Then, in another location, I activate a second one. If you die after the second one, I'll still respawn at the first one :/

There's probably an error in your script or something, can you post it?

Try making it so that when you reach the second checkpoint it activates that one and de-activates the first one? =)

Awesome =) well if you try it let me know how it goes on ^_^


RE: Multiple Checkpoints question - Roenlond - 05-04-2011

sigh, don't write scripts when you can't focus... Made stupid mistakes, the checkpoints weren't even called the way I wanted them to - the game just used the first checkpoint because the others never activated... Thanks for the help anyhow Smile
