BP Time Attack Racer: Lap Display & Respawn Handling | 07 | v4.8 Tutorial Series | Unreal Engine 

"this video is maybe a little bit shorter" - proceed for 25min

So I see a lot of comments where they are having trouble with the warning message, the solution is a quick fix. 1. Go to the "VehicleBlueprint" and go to the area @21:10 2. Cut the connection to "DestroyActor" 3. Right-click and look up a node called "SetActor Transform" 4. Connect this node to the True indicator from the Branch node. 5. Make sure the TELEPORT is CHECKED 6. GET 'ControllerReference' (the variable we have been using in this area) 7. GET 'RespawnLocation' from the 'ControllerReference' and then connect this to the "New Transform" part of the new node. So the "Event Destroyed" is no longer used, for the tutorial it's probably not a bad idea to keep it there, but know that it is never called because in point 2 we cut the connection. Unfortunately this means the "RespawnVehicle" Event is also going to need to be changed, so when the game restarts. To do this, just switch out "SpawnActor Vehicle Blueprint" with "SetActor Transform", reference the Vehicle and it should be clear from there. Hope this helps and clears some things up for everyone.

At 20min (more or less), you make some modifications in the VehicleBlueprint to check if the car is flipped. I was wondering, if, for the sake of modularity, it wouldn't be better to check this in the player controller itself by getting a reference to the vehicle. In this way the vehicle doesn't need to care about who is controlling it.

Yes! This is just what I need!)) Thanks)

For the respawn check I create a integer

If you flip your car before you hit the first checkpoint and you end up under the ground, just move you car blueprint a bit above the ground and it should work.

Just as a complement, at 3.14 the Actual Lap variable needs to be incremented. There's a special node for increment purposes that I found call IncrementInt. When the increment is always one I'd rather use this node. Its kinda a programmer thing I guess.

when my car respawns, camera goes under the ground. Whats wrong? Still getting that "Please use teleport flag" error with 4.16

The car is invisible and won't moving after respawning. What I did instead was SetActorTransform to teleport my vehicle back to the recent checkpoint…

Can't get it to work, it just respawns underground and won't move or anything

I was getting some errors with a different Vehicle and VehicleBlueprint saying "Warning Attempting to move a fully simulated skeletal mesh VehicleMesh. Please use the Teleport flag" with the SpawnActor VehicleBlueprint function, so I used SetActorTransform to Teleport the Vehicle, worked like a charm. Hope it helps somebody.

I was having trouble with the respawn thing. Apparently my car was being spawned too close to the ground or something. I added 50 units to the Z of the transform location and bam, not it works as intended.

So after respawn my car has different color and it's squished :( help how to prvent this after destroy :(

Please help. I am not getting my checkpoints to respawn for a second lap. I have tried inserting a Hello string check into the LapCheck function and it does not show.

im having a problem where sometimes ill spawn in and sometimes i wont and if i do spawn in, sometimes the vehicle will scale itself very large. any ideas?

i completed tis video and my game worked fine, however when i completed video 8 it appears my player is respawning upside down after it flips... not sure what wouldve gone wrong in the process? sos

issues i faced while doing this: 1. the lap number doesn't show up at the top left corner 2. when i flip my vehicle, it still moves a little bit(yes, even when it is flipped). maybe that's why my vehicle doesn't respawn. i m currently using unreal engine 4.10.4

I also get respawned when I dont drive (when I dont press a key) Version 4.15

12:38 Check box - Stuck? / Stuck 체크박스에 체크를 하세요. 쉽게 지나칠 수 있음

I'm having an odd bug where in the sometimes when it tries to respawn the car disappears but then nothing happens and it freezes. And it throws this error: Accessed None trying to read property Controller Reference from function 'ExecutUbergraph_VehicleBlueprint' from node: Respawn Vehicle in graph: EventGraph in object: VehicleBlueprint with description: Accessed None trying to read property Controller Reference

mine isn't working,,, when it fliped it wasn't coming back the startup position,,help me anyone,,, i'm using 4.12

Im having a small issue - the car respawns, how ever somehow.. when it respawns its scale has been increased.. any ideas?

does this still work i need help please

i have a problem with the respawn one when i attach the line of codes to the Event Tick my car is being destroyed after 4 seconds even if the car is not flipped.... but if i de attach it everything is fine it seems the game is detecting that my car is flipped even if it is not, i checked the stuck? and PlayerIsStuck booleans and both are default to false... so i am wondering what is doing that....

It all seems to be working, but I get a warning "Warning Attempting to move a fully simulated skeletal mesh VehicleMesh. Please use the Teleport flag"

lap text not showing up ? i need help please

This tutorial is super old I know, and I'm only messing around with Unreal for fun and for more of a "artsy fartsy" reason than technical skill development, but, I followed what you did exactly (so I think) and when the car respawns it is flat, and doesn't move. I get the error in the Message Log: "Attempting to move a fully simulated skeletal mesh VehicleMesh. Please use the Teleport flag" I am using Version 4.13 If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it. Gonna try figuring it out myself now, though. :)
