Yeah basically im trying to start the player in one area then transport him to another place using a teleporter. So i was thinking of using gas so pretty much when the player moves and activates a switch or something the gas emits and the checkpoint on the other side gets activated. Do you think it would mess it up in anyway? Cause i might need to do something about the other checkpoint so the player doesn't activate it and get stuck in gas.... Would i be able to attack a piston to the checkpoint so when the player/s spawn it moves away? thanks

Actually the checkpoints for teleporters are already activated! Try to search it in community levels (tutorials). With them it's easy: checkpoint1 gets destroyed, checkpoint2 spawns activated, player dies... If you don't want _any_ checkoint to be activated afterwards, destroy cp2 and spawn another "normal" one somewhere.

I'm a bit confused rseah... at your teleporter's initial point (where you die) is there a checkpoint? If not, I really don't see the problem. Spawning preactivated checkpoints and destroying old ones is old school tech before we could switch-activate checkpoints. Here's what I would do at any rate. Whatever switch you're activating your teleporter with, set to 1-shot. Have that switch wired to your target checkpoint and also have it wired to emit a block of gas to kill you, that lasts for 0.1s. Respawning is not instantaneous, but activating that checkpoint is, so I don't think it would be possible to end up respawning [anywhere else] before the target checkpoint is set. However, if you're really concerned, you could wire checkpoint activation to be instant (at the switch) and have the gas on a short timer to emit 0.1 or 0.2 seconds afterwards.

Holy sh*t, you're right... I didn't know you could switch checkpoints. Sorry! This is what happens if you rely on glitch tutorials ;-))
