Hello CMJones, There is more to this tutorial than just checkpoints but it should be able to show you the functionality you need. I would suggest going through the entire tutorial but #4, #5, #6 have the information about checkpoints. > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — https://unrealcommunity.wiki/! You will be able to find content from... Hope this helps! ---

Yes, in later videos of the tutorial he sets up a respawn system that respawns the car at the checkpoint after a few seconds if it has flipped. CheckpointCleared is an event that was made in an earlier part of the tutorial and isn’t native to the engine. You’ll need to watch the previous videos to see how to create that. Please avoid bumping a post without waiting 48 hours without a response. ---

He creates the Event Dispatcher called “Checkpoint Cleared” at 6:03 in the 3rd video in the tutorial. ---

What is this “tracker”? Be sure you’re not dragging off an execution pin as Get Player Controller is a pure blueprint function so it doesn’t have an execution. Also try right-clicking in the graph and un-checking 'Context Sensitive" at the top right to see if it is available to use then. ---
