Currently, I have a 2D platformer game, and I want to implement a function that can make the player die and go back to the start or a checkpoint when he interacts with a weapon or trap.
What I have in my scene is a sprite with a Rigidbody on it and a trap sprite with a BoxCollider2D on it which is set to trigger.
How can I make my player go back to the start when he hits the trap?
Since you do not need to reset the scene, all you need to do is
Add this script into your enemy. It will reset the scene which in theory will bring the player back to start. Remember to call the UnityEngine and UnityEngine.SceneManagement API services at the start. Also, make sure to have the player tag on the player, so the scene won’t restart if any GameObject collides with the enemy.
// Initiates when something collides with enemy
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collider) {
if (collider.gameObject.CompareTag(“Player”))
{
SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.getActiveScene().buildIndex);
}
}
