Yesterday when playing around with switches I put a proximity switch on the entrance point. I connected it to another checkpoint. So when the first person entered the level it activated the second checkpoint, so when the second person entered the level they entered it in a separate place! I tried to do this with three checkpoints and sacks but the second two sacks came out the same checkpoint. So it only works with two people. The only downside is that you cant die or else you will move to the seconds persons area. I think you could do some cool things with this! Has any one done this before? Can any one tell me why it doesn't work with three people? I would also like to know if you think this would be fun in a multiplayer level! Thanks!

I recall a discussion about how to keep two players separate for an entire level, this would fit perfectly. You should check that one out, though I'm having a hard time remembering how to find it. I think comphermc had a lot to do with it...

I ended up starting a level that keeps two players separated throughout after this exact discussion, but I didn't use this method as it is temperamental with lag issues and such. Also, it is too easy to bypass by popping. What I did was forcibly separate the players with a multiplayer puzzle, then had pairs of checkpoints in adjacent corridors, with a "death" checkpoint elsewhere. Each of the paired checkpoints is activated by a grab switch. The checkpoints are out of reach of the sackperson. The grab switch activated the checkpoint in the adjacent corridor, then when the grab switch was released, the checkpoint elsewhere was activated so that if both players popped they would be forced to restart. If one player died, the other would simply grab the respawn point and the checkpoint would activate, allowing them to respawn. If I could I'd do a diagram but I'm not exactly a whizz in Photoshop, so if you wanna know what the hell I'm on about you might just have to add me on PSN
