Checkpoint System saves a checkpoint's spawn position and rotation and returns the player there after a fall or death. It is free and includes the complete source under the MIT License.

Place checkpoints in your level, assign your player to the manager and connect your health system to the respawn method. The included hazard zones and minimum-height recovery component can also trigger a respawn.

Features

• World-space checkpoint position and rotation.
• CharacterController teleporting and Rigidbody velocity reset.
• Configurable respawn delay using unscaled time.
• Temporary suspension of selected movement or camera scripts.
• Local JSON saves with separate scene keys and save slots.
• Save validation and backup recovery.
• Optional activation in increasing checkpoint order.
• UnityEvents, C# events and a replaceable storage interface.

Included

• Four prefabs: Checkpoint Beacon, Checkpoint Manager, Demo Explorer and Respawn Zone.
• One configured industrial scene with three checkpoints.

Getting started

Open the project with Unity 2022.3.62f3, select Tools > Checkpoint System > Open Demo Scene and press Play. Move with WASD, activate a checkpoint and press F to test fall recovery.

You can also copy the Checkpoint System asset folder into an existing Unity project.

Compatibility

Tested on Windows with Unity 2022.3.62f3 and the Built-in Render Pipeline. Included materials and the shader require conversion or replacement for URP/HDRP. No third-party runtime packages are required.

The system handles local 3D checkpoint progress within one scene. Multiplayer, 2D physics, cross-scene loading, inventory storage and cloud saves are not included.
