How do I make it so that when you fall in a platformer, you have to respawn

When you fall in a platformer, how do make it so that when you will have to respawn when you hit the ground?

[Giminator]

Add zones that link to a teleporter or respawns

[pokegimkit]

but I can’t do that to the whole floor. That would be a lot of zones. Like in Don’t Look Down, when you fall, you respawn to the last summit.

I’ll test it

Okay I think I figured it out, with 2 zones expanded all the way out you can cover the entire building area with some overlap. You can link these 2 zone to a damager. And have checkpoints on the segments so when they oof from the damager they respawn at the checkpoints

Make a respawn overlay, so that when a player is falling, they just press the button and respawn at the last checkpoint. This also helps with soft locking.
If you don’t know how to make it, this is what I put in my guide:

Making a respawn overlay is simple. Just take an overlay device, change type to button, text to respawn, and then connect it to a respawn device. It should look like this:

The reason this is helpful is because even if you think you’ve covered the ground with lasers or zones, there can always be a glitch that escapes it, and plus if you do this, you don’t have to put lasers on the ground AT ALL. This is just a helpful tool overall that’s also good for top-down maps too sometimes.
