Actions

Load checkpoint
Change the position of the object to the saved checkpoint.

See parameters
  • Parameter 1 (👾 Object): Load checkpoint from object
  • Parameter 2 (👾 Object): Change position of object
  • Parameter 3 (🔤 Name (String)): Checkpoint name
  • Parameter 4 (❓ Yes or No): Ignore (possibly) empty checkpoints Loading not yet saved checkpoints will (by default) set the position to the coordinate 0;0. Select "yes" to completely ignore non-existant checkpoints. To define an alternative checkpoint for it, create a new event and use the "Checkpoint exists" condition, save the wanted checkpoint as the action.
