I'm in the makings of an obby, but the whole checkpoint system keeps going wrong.

I would like to make it clear I do not wish to have a system whereby I use constant spawns because that adds unnecessary wording/colouring to the leaderboard. I wish for it to say 'Stage' at the top of the Leaderboard, and then just numbers next to each player's name.

My problem is I have tried to use many such systems, but each one, regardless of how many times I step on new checkpoints, I spawn in empty air again...I even tried to remedy the situation by using a spawn-point at the beginning, which kept the Stages and they changed numbers as I stepped on them, but the second I died I spawned at the start again - regardless of my stage number.

How do I get a working checkpoint system as I would like it?

I'm assuming that you already have a leaderboard system set up

Name each spawn location with a number.
Inside each, place a script:

leaderboard = -- Leaderboard Location Here

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hitBy)
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(hitBy.Parent.Name) then
if hitBy.Parent.Health > 0 then
leaderboard.Stage.Value = tonumber(script.Parent.Name)
game.Players[hitBy.Parent.Name].RespawnLocation = script.Parent
end
end
end)

This was written without testing, or checking, but it should be something like what you want.

I had one with a similar script inside each spawn point, with each one named 1, then 2, and so forth, and nothing happened.

Problem has arose...I was using Chim's checkpoints...and it worked up until CP 5 when suddenly, even though it said on the leaderboard I was CP 5, it kept spawning me in the middle of the air.

I added admin, and flew myself to CP 6 and then reset, and it did likewise.


It was fine from CPs 1 - 4.


help please
