I am trying to make a system in my level where if you die you lose any potential points from that race, getting zero points for that round. I have been able to make the player spawn at the end, past the finish gate (spawn at the level link) but the timer and the points continue until I run backwards through the finish gate. Also, I am trying to do this on a level that has a level link and no scoreboard. I am sure it is something simple, but my brain is convinced it is not as I have been searching for a solution for a few days. Thank you for any suggestions.

My first thought would be to either have the player spawn just in front of the finish line and force him through (like a trap box in which you spawn that flies through the finish line, then disappears) or make a duplicate finish line through which the player falls through after spawn, then disappears. Bonus if you can hide it from view. You can take away a player's precious points by using a score giver set to a very large negative value.

Thank you Antikris, I will try these suggestions out. The score giver, lol never even thought of a negative value. Thanks again!

Ok the negative score giver works like a charm. I added a checkpoint system where the player falls through a race finish and then a negative score giver. While doing this I have encountered a bigger problem. There is a bug in versus levels that spawns you out of the level link instead of the checkpoint. I have searched for a solution for awhile now. I read somewhere that it is possible, with logic, to force a player to come out of a certain checkpoint when they die. Yet, there is no explanation that I can find to show how this may be done. Any ideas are appreciated.

You can activate checkpoints (and race gates for that matter) through switches.

Yeah I tried using switches and selectors to turn the gates on and off using a player sensor so that when you passed it the appropriate checkpoints opened and closed. This did not work either. The only way I can make this set-up work, as for the moment, is by replacing the level link with the scoreboard, as it has its' own level link. I have not linked the levels yet to test this, but I am on my way to do so. Thanks for the reply.

This did fix the problem, by replacing the level link with the scoreboard (there is a level link built in) the player now spawns properly out of the checkpoint rather than out of the level link.
