Hello, I’m new to Godot and I’m trying to learn how to use engine. Right now I’m trying to make a simple 2D platformer, and got to the point where I managed to make a checkpoint system and respawning the player. But each time the player respawns the enemies don’t respawn with it. To my understanding is because i have a killzone script separated from the script of the enemies and since the enemies queue_free after being defeated they won’t return to their original positions. My question is, how can I make it so that when the player respawns after hitting a checkpoint the enemies respawn with the player?
This is my player code:
class_name Player
extends CharacterBody2D
const SPEED = 250.0
const JUMP_VELOCITY = -400.0
@onready var animated_sprite = $AnimatedSprite2D
@onready var jump_height_timer = $JumpHeightTimer
@onready var coyote_timer = $CoyoteTimer
var gravity = 1250.0
var can_jump = true
var can_coyote_jump = false
var dying: bool = false
func _ready():
add_to_group("Player")
GameManager.player = self
func die():
dying = true
if dying == true:
animated_sprite.play("death")
func _process(delta):
# Add gravity
if not is_on_floor() and (can_coyote_jump == false):
velocity.y += gravity * delta
# Handle jump
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump"):
if is_on_floor() or can_coyote_jump:
jump_height_timer.start()
jump()
if can_coyote_jump:
can_coyote_jump = false
# Get inputs for movement
var direction = Input.get_axis("move_left", "move_right_")
if direction:
velocity.x = direction * SPEED
else:
velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0, SPEED)
# Play and Flip the Animation
if is_on_floor():
if direction > 0:
animated_sprite.flip_h = false
elif direction < 0:
animated_sprite.flip_h = true
if direction == 0:
animated_sprite.play("idle")
else:
animated_sprite.play("run")
else:
animated_sprite.play("jump")
# Handle Coyote Time
var was_on_floor = is_on_floor()
if was_on_floor and !is_on_floor() and velocity.y >= 0:
print("FALL")
can_coyote_jump = true
coyote_timer.start()
move_and_slide()
func _on_coyote_timer_timeout():
can_coyote_jump = false
func jump():
velocity.y = JUMP_VELOCITY
can_jump = false
func spring_jump(jump_force):
velocity.y = JUMP_VELOCITY * jump_force
func _on_jump_height_timer_timeout():
if !Input.is_action_pressed("jump"):
if velocity.y < 0:
velocity.y = 0
print("Low Jump")
else:
print("High Jump")
this is the code of the killzone
class_name Killzone
extends Area2D
@onready var timer = $Timer
func _on_body_entered(body):
if body.is_in_group("Player"):
print("You died")
Engine.time_scale = 0.5
timer.start()
if body.has_method("die"):
body.die()
func _on_timer_timeout():
Engine.time_scale = 1.0
GameManager.respawn_player()
this is the code of one type of enemy
extends Node2D
@onready var respawn_timer = $Respawn_Timer
@onready var ray_cast_der = $RayCastDER
@onready var ray_cast_izq = $RayCastIZQ
@onready var animated_sprite = $AnimatedSprite2D
@export var jump_force = 1
@export var respawn_position: Vector2
const SPEED = 40
var direction = 1
var initial_position : Vector2
func _ready():
add_to_group("Enemy")
# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.
func _process(delta):
if ray_cast_der.is_colliding():
direction = -1
animated_sprite.flip_h = false
if ray_cast_izq.is_colliding():
direction = 1
animated_sprite.flip_h = true
position.x += direction * SPEED * delta
func _on_hitbox_body_entered(body):
if body.is_in_group("Player"):
respawn_timer.start()
body.spring_jump(jump_force)
direction = 0
animated_sprite.play("death")
await animated_sprite.animation_finished
get_parent().remove_child(self)
func _on_respawn_timer_timeout():
set_process(true)
reset_position()
func reset_position():
position = initial_position
direction = 1
animated_sprite.play("move")
and this is the code of the game manager which handles respawn
extends Node
var starting_point = Vector2(40, 556)
var current_checkpoint : Checkpoint
var player : Player
func respawn_player():
if current_checkpoint != null:
player.position = current_checkpoint.global_position
else :
player.position = starting_point
respawn_enemies()
func respawn_enemies():
pass
Thanks if you decide to look into this
