Hi Shaun! Thanks for all the awesome tutorials. :) Just one issue: for some reason I can't get the checkpoints to work properly. If I download your files it works fine, but in my project, instead of respawning the player to the checkpoint origin, it just respawns to the characters last (exact) location... No idea why this is happening. I've checked the code several times and read quite a lot of "Help" sections regarding this, but can't figure out the issue. Which also brings me to another issue/question: how do you exactly reference an object to its own location (dynamically)? Thanks for any assistance.

Hi dude, unfortunately I'm not really sure what's going wrong if it works in the example but not when you use the code. Something is evidently wrong but I'm not sure what could cause that exact problem. As for your second question I'm not sure entirely what you mean? Can you give an example? -S
