Checkpoint?

I know i need to make a empty gameobject and add the checkpoint script to it, but how would i make a check point script? It's a 2d game by the way. Any help will help thanks!

 

Here is some code that I was going to put on the asset store. This is a waypoint system.

Usage:

Way Points

Way Points are used to create paths that an object must follow.

Way Points can be used to create many game features such as a Tower defense path that enemies must take. It could also be used for a space shooter where enemies follow a path pattern.

Creating the Path

To create a Way Point system, you should place the `WayPoint System` prefab within the scene.
You should then duplicate that `WayPoint` node to create your way point system.
As you create your system you will see that it will draw lines to show you the path.

Auto Following

Game Objects can auto follow the path using the `Simple->Path->Auto Follow` script.
Once added, you will need to assign it a Path which is attached to the `WayPoint System` prefab root element.
Choose the settings that you would like and you're done.

Events

Events should be registered in `OnEnable` and should be removed in `OnDisable`.

Code (csharp):

1. OnPathStart(GameObject go)

Called when a path is started.

Code (csharp):

1. OnPathFinished(GameObject go)

Called when an object has finished its path.

 

@The Little Guy "checkpoint" i.e. go past this point and when you die you respawn here... at least that's what I would understand as a checkpoint in gaming parlance.

@Shadowlash1221 do you have a respawn mechanic yet?

 

My waypoint system will allow you to do that. I didn't program that in though... So that part will have to be written

 

no, this is my first time :/

 

ok, what do you have?

 

I used this but it didn't work :/

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class LevelManager : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     public GameObject currentCheckpoint;
7.  
8.     private SimplePlatformController player;
9.  
10.     // Use this for initialization
11.     void Start () {
12.         player = FindObjectOfType<SimplePlatformController>();
13.     }
14.    
15.     // Update is called once per frame
16.     void Update () {
17.    
18.  
19.     }
20.     public void RespawnPlayer()
21.     {
22.         Debug.Log ("Player Respawn");
23.         player.transform.position = currentCheckpoint.transform.position;  
24.     }
25. }

 

But besides that iv'e got nothing :/

 

ok, good start.

How did you try to call RespawnPlayer()?, assuming it's something like mario etc. you'll need some sort of Triggers/Colliders setup in your scene to "kill" the player by calling

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. FindObjectOfType<LevelManager>().RespawnPlayer();
3.  

in their OnTriggerEnter/OnCollisionEnter functions.

 

And i put this on the enemy

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class KillPlayer : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     public LevelManager levelManager;
7.  
8.     // Use this for initialization
9.     void Start () {
10.         levelManager = FindObjectOfType<LevelManager>();
11.     }
12.    
13.     // Update is called once per frame
14.     void Update () {
15.        
16.     }
17.  
18.     void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
19.     {
20.         if(other.name == "Player")
21.         {
22.             levelManager.RespawnPlayer();
23.         }
24.     }
25. }
26.  

 

ok, assuming there is some code to make the player/enemy move around and actually collide... you're saying the collision code isn't called? have you tried putting Debug.Log(...) lines in at the very start of the OnTriggerEnter2D and RespawnPlayer to see if they are trying to be called?

in 3d physics something involved in the collision needs to have a rigidbody attached to it, assuming thats true in the 2d engine as well does your player/enemies have rigidbody2d components attached?

 

Debug.log won't work

 

Is the collider on your Enemy gameobject set to be "IsTrigger" ?

 

Yes
