what does this mean? i have 2 scripts - “player.gd” and “Checkpoint.gd”
if theres someone out there that can help PLEASE HOW THE HELL DO I MAKE CHECKPOINTS WORK
Checkpoint.gd-
extends Area2D @onready var PlayerGD = $“../Player”
func _on_body_entered(body: Node2D) → void:
if body.is_in_group(“Player”):
print(“wrong body actually :'(”)
PlayerGD.RespawnPoint = get_node(“Spawnpoint”).position
Player.gd

so THIS is the map of my game ; the part i have selected is the checkpoint and the red areas are the void that kills you. its supposed to respawn you near the checkpoint, but instead it respawns you HERE;
You’re using position for the checkpoint, but I suspect you might want to use global_position; the former is relative to the node’s parents (and grandparents, and…) while the latter is the computed final position.
It being zero makes sense if your code is using global_position it will take into account the parent’s position. That’s why it was sending you to zero when using position. Can you paste your full script again? something should’ve changed.
