Checkpoints using ScriptArea's

1. make a ScriptArea large enough for the player to walk through.

I named mine "ScriptArea_1"

[1]

2. create a PlayerStartArea this time I name mine "PlayerStartArea_1"

[2]

as for the script:

void OnStart() { AddEntityCollideCallback(“Player”, “ScriptArea_1”, “Restart”, true, 1); } void Restart(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState) { CheckPoint (“FirstCheckpoint”, “PlayerStartArea_1”, “Happening”, “DeathCategory”, “Deathtext”); } void Happening(string &in asName, int alCount) { /Stuff you want to happen after you die/ }

and as for the .LANG file

<LANGUAGE> <CATEGORY Name="DeathCategory"> <Entry Name="Deathtext">Text you want in the black screen after you die </Entry> </CATEGORY> </LANGUAGE>

Now if you walk through the ScriptArea and die, you respawn at the PlayerStartArea you created.
