Avatar Teleport & Checkpoint

This document provides guides that can be used to change the spawn location of an avatar and transfer an avatar to a different location. These actions can be configured to execute with triggers.

---

EntityCheckPoint

Create An Action That Sets A New Spawn Point

This guide provides instructions for setting up the EntityCheckPoint action. In the sample app, once the avatar enters one of the green trigger areas, the area becomes the new spawn location.

The avatar enters the green trigger area and the trigger area becomes the new spawn location.	The avatar has fallen off the map and needs to be respawned.	When the avatar respawns, it is spawned at the new location.

In this example, a trigger area is created and when triggered, an action sets a new spawn location. Any object can be used as a trigger, as long as the object has a collision component.
