| 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.
