Hi, I’ve look at a few resources and none could clearly explain how to not only save the game which I have already implemented, but also store the state of the game world / level. For example if the player has turned a light on in the previous session, saved the game, exited, continued from last c…

You’re on the right track. The checkpoint also has to write to the save game. If it sets the ‘used’ bool to true, next time the level loads, on begin play, the checkpoint reads the SG again, sees it was used, and just destroys itself :slight_smile:

Yes! :smiley: So that saves the player position. What code do you have to put the player back there? ( probably in the player, but might not be )

This what I had, not sure what to do in it’s place now [image]

I don’t have anything in the player for the above, the spawn is only called at the New Game or Continue Game

Ok, so when you are spawning the player, you can say [image] ( that’s a != node )

what is the node under the != node

Okay I have that in the player now, where do I call that custom event?

Where you did before. How were you restarting the game before to test your player save? You can either do this on ‘begin play’ in the player, or do it when you spawn the player, whatever you had before.

I would start the game, run to the now renamed Checkpoint which would save it, then exit to menu and when I click Continue button it resumed the game from that Checkpoint

So you can put the code there. What do you have there now?

Main Menu > Continue Button clicked [image]

After some tinkering this appears to be working as I need it to
