I need help adding checkpoints to my platformer game.

I've watched a few tutorials, but they don't show how to make checkpoints for platformer games. I've tried to work it out on my own, but I can't figure out how I'm going to put the code together.

Here's the link to my game: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/508804141/fullscreen/

Assuming you're using a level variable, it should be pretty easy:
Simplest way: Checkpoints every five levels

Let me know if you need customizable spawning locations.

Hi, the best way is for the player to instead of going to a certain x or y, go to spawn x and spawn y, that will allow you to edit the spawn point rather easily.

If it's a scrolling platformer, try this:

Did that help?

so basicly make a sprite that is the check point add a code so it is effected by your scroll engine then
the player sprite

checkpoint sprite

Then change level

Hope this helps
