Overview

Death & Respawn System is a comprehensive, production-ready plugin that handles all aspects of death and respawn mechanics in your Unreal Engine game. From simple instant respawns to complex checkpoint systems and arcade-style lives, this plugin provides the complete backend logic you need.

Pure C++ Design - We provide only the backend logic. You create your own UI widgets, visual effects, and sounds, giving you complete creative control while we handle the complex state management.

5 Respawn Modes

Checkpoint Mode - Perfect for action games and Souls-likes. Respawn at the last activated checkpoint.

Instant Mode - Great for fast-paced games. Respawn immediately at death location with configurable delay.

Lives Mode - Arcade-style lives system with game over on zero lives. Perfect for platformers and retro games.

Permadeath Mode - True roguelike experience. No respawn - game over on death.

Manual Mode - Complete control. Respawn only when you call it. Perfect for cutscenes and story-driven respawns.
