(Closed) Respawn character on moving Checkpoint

Hi there,

I need a checkpoint system in my game, but there's a problem, the "checkpoint" is in movement. Because of this, the position is not registered correctly and the character respawn isn't acccurate. I've tried the "Checkpoint" capx from the forum.

but it only works for static position which is not my case.

In my game, I'm using the "bullet" behavior to move the objects of the levels, but the character is restricted to horizontal movement.

QUESTION

How can I register the last checkpoint position and place the character at this position ?

Ans - You don't! actually you are trying get xy of a object with bullet behaviour and if you respawn you will be spawn on out side layout or some where random as you said.

Try this for each text sprite passed collect data and store it in a array and then when respawn collect those data and set the position.

Sorry for my bad english i am working on it!

Thx for your reply. I've found a solution in which I Replace manually the level at a spectific position if a checkpoint has been activated. It's not elegant from a coding point of view, but it works for what i need.

If you are interested and have an iPhone, I invite you to download SOUL for free on the appStore.
