You could use "checkpoints" maybe somehow. I dunno.

No, because when you're dead...... you're dead.

You'll have to catch the health before it reaches zero. Place a dynamic entity in the level where you want the player to spawn to, like a rug or sign, etc. Then make a script like this and attach it to some other dynamic entity in the level, like a light.

:state=0,plrhealthless=10:plrmoveto=name_of_dynamic_entity,state=1

Best.

Good idea!

This would allow for very dynamic gameplay and should be elaborated on.
If you added a variable for a flag, then you could have numerous locations to be moved to.
Each value of the flag could represent a different entity, thus making all of the entities a potential spawn location.

Quote: "No, because when you're dead...... you're dead.

You'll have to catch the health before it reaches zero."

An entity at the inital spawn location could run the script for the redirect depending on the variable's value. (plrwithinzone,varequal=x:plrmoveto=x)
That way you don't need to monitor player health at all, because the default spawn location is doing all the work..

That'd be the best way to do it, but I'm not sure if Lee has fixed the "plrmoveto" bugs. There were a lot of problems with the player getting stuck in walls and whatnot.


The one and only,

Well, I guess we will have to place those spawn entities near the middle of the rooms then, and away from any walls.
If memory serves, I used blood-splats (some invisible) in the past for my teleport targets and I do not remember having any trouble.
The only thing I can remember having to do is rotating them so the player was facing the right direction after the move.
It's been awhile since I played with the plrmoveto but I hadn't thought of applying a variable to it until this thread.
I think I will have to script this and play around with it a little and see how it works.

@Ply

I've found that (in your mod) pushing the player south with the rifght velocity stops him getting flung into walls, pretty nifty...
