Making a new game, done everything but an invisible platform designed for respawning.

I need someone's help to make a script that allows me to spawn back into the position that my player first started in. It's a thirdperson based game with the character "Ethan". I've tried another script and the collider isn't working or something... please help!

Temporary script:
public class Respawn : MonoBehaviour {

public Vector3 SpawnPoint;

void OnTriggerEnter (Collider col)
{
if (col.tag == "ThirdPersonController")
{
col.transform.position = SpawnPoint;
}
}
}

 

does something involved in the collision have a rigidbody?
is the collider set to "trigger" in its inspector?

comparisons of strings are case sensitive; double check the tag is exactly correct, spaces, case everything.

Can you make a script for me? I can add the .cs file name for you so it's easier for me. Please, thanks.

Script: Respawn
GameObject (collider): CollisionObject - It's a "floor plane"
GameObject (Respawn point): SpawnPoint

 

wrong forum for that... and if the problem lies with something related to the questions I asked it's not a "script problem"... if you're having issues with understanding how things need to be setup I'd recommend having another look at the tutorials for the physics system in unity

Nope, as LeftyRighty suggested look into the Unity physics because it may just be that you missed something and the code is fine. It would be pointless programming a potential workaround for a simple issue if it can be fixed. Look into it first.

 

One of the unspoken rules of the Scripting forum is to avoid "write my code for me" kind of questions. It's generally frowned upon and you're unlikely to find someone who will do it for you, particularly when the code you posted seems fine, and the problem is likely with your settings.

Are you under a deadline or is this some sort of homework? Because it seems from this and from your earlier thread that you could benefit from spending time learning the basics of both C# and Unity. You won't be able to get much done if you're going to stop and ask for help at every minor stumbling block. And yours are pretty minor stumbling block.
