So, when the player dies, I want them to go back to the checkpoint they touched. I used a code and i don't know what the problem is and I am a bit confused on how to get this working. Any ideas on how? Here is my script I Wrote:

01local checkFolder = game.Workspace.checkpoints
02 
03game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) --// just defining the folder leaderstats
04    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
05    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
06    leaderstats.Parent = plr
07 
08    local checkpoints = Instance.new("IntValue") --// making a value in a folder called checkpoints
09    checkpoints.Name = "Stages"
10    checkpoints.Parent = leaderstats
11 
12    for i,v in pairs(checkFolder:GetChildren()) do
13        if v:IsA("BasePart") then
14            v.Touched:Connect(function(plr)
15                local humanoid = plr.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
16                if i == 1 then
17                    checkpoints.Value = 1
18                    humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
19                        plr:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = CFrame.new(v.Position + Vector3.new(0,2,0)) --// this is where i get confused as it doesn't work. Any ideas?
20                    end)
21                end
22            end)
23        end
24    end
25end)

I tried using CFrame and made it the position of the checkpoint plus 2 on the "y" axis. The For i,v in pairs part is finding all children in the folder checkFolder. Please help me

try characteradded instead of died Arkrei 389 — 5y

Ok i will kingblaze_1000 359 — 5y

It doesn't work :( Could you please explain this further? Do i have to use a parameter for this? kingblaze_1000 359 — 5y

Use "if humanoid.Health == 0 then" matiss112233 258 — 5y

Here. It was simple...

01local checkFolder = game.Workspace.checkpoints
02 
03game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) --// just defining the folder leaderstats
04    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
05    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
06    leaderstats.Parent = plr
07 
08    local checkpoints = Instance.new("IntValue") --// making a value in a folder called checkpoints
09    checkpoints.Name = "Stages"
10    checkpoints.Parent = leaderstats
11 
12    for i,v in pairs(checkFolder:GetChildren()) do
13        if v:IsA("BasePart") then
14            v.Touched:Connect(function(plr)
15        local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait() --// Didn't add this to wait for the character
16                local humanoid = char.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid") --// You said "FindFirstChild". If the player was not loaded I'd automatically cancel itself and return an error.
17                if i == 1 then
18                    checkpoints.Value = 1
19                    humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
20                        char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = v.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 3, 0) --// Part should be fixed 
21                end
22            end)
23        end
24    end
25end)

But, now when the player dies, they go straight to the checkpoint and then when their character is fixed, they will go to spawn. Please any way to stop this? kingblaze_1000 359 — 5y
