Respawning Player

I have a relatively easy question on how to position the Y-axis on a game object and how to wait for an animation to finish before my player is re-spawned to a checkpoint.

This is the code I have so far:

public void RespawnPlayer ()
{
body2d.gravityScale = 0f;

var pos = player.transform.position;
pos.y = currentCheckpoint.transform.position.y - 0.068f;
pos.x = currentCheckpoint.transform.position.x;
player.transform.position = pos;

player.warping = true;
player.warpStarted = false;
}

This is called from a coroutine in an `Update()`:

void Update ()
{
if (!warping) {
if (collisionState.standing) {
ChangeAnimationState (0);
}
} else if (!warpStarted) {
StartCoroutine (Warp ());
warpStarted = true;
}
}

IEnumerator Warp ()
{
Debug.Log ("Should only execute once.");

ChangeAnimationState (5); // Ideally I'd like to get the total time of the animation and set the WaitForSeconds with that time.
yield return new WaitForSeconds (1);
body2d.gravityScale = 5f;
warping = false;
}

void ChangeAnimationState (int value)
{
animator.SetInteger ("AnimState", value);
}

The problem I'm facing is that I see for a split second that the the position of the sprite is in the correct position but then straight away changes to the position of the `currentCheckpoint` in the `RespawnPlayer()` method.

Is there a better way of achieving what I'm after?

 

You can add events to your animation. You'll find them in the animation window, it looks like a wedge with a plus sign. Once the animation reaches an event, the assigned method will be called.

 

Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it. I'll look into the events.
