At the moment, if I have a level where you run to the start of a maze filled with enemies, with a checkpoint at the beggining of the maze, then run through, killing half the enemies, then die.

All I have to do is walk through the maze again.... the enemies aren't there anymore and I've got full health.

What I WANT, is for checkpoints/the player start marker to bring you back to the progress you were at when you hit the point.

So it saves your location, which enemies are dead, which crates you've pushed around.
And then when you die it reverts back to that phase.

So if you died in the maze you would have to go back through the maze, KILLING THE ENEMIES AGAIN.

Is there any way to do this??

Thanks,

E.D.

Instead of a player checkpoint, use an auto save trigger zone. How well the entities, enemies, etc stay in place remains to be seen, but it will be better than a check point, which only saves your position.

best.

I'm sorry, my answers are limited. You must ask the right question.

A new question now.
How do I make it so you don't die when your health reaches 0??

Because I want to add this to the setuplevel.fpi





And I'm going to remove the quicksave, quickload, and savegame functions from other places.

(I want the player to only be allowed to load last checkpoint.)

What you might want to do, is not have checkpoints at all, and leave the plr responsible for saving. Just a thought.

I don't really want to have the player responsible for saving.... in my opinion, that makes FPS's too easy .

That's also true. However, if your game is interesting enough, the plr will be so intrigued with it and forget to save. He'll then be all bummed out on the last lvl when he dies and has to start over.
