Cooperative 💾The Save Disk - A Checkpoint System for ZDoom ports.

[Matakrow]

When touched, the game will save and the player will respawn in that location when they die.

Additionally, it resurrects all players to max lives in survival.

It's a solution I've made to solve the "Running To Evil" problem present in co-op.
With the spawn moved, players can get right back into the action with little to no delay.
 

Spoiler

• Compatible with ZDoom, Zandronum, Gzdoom and any forks from that.
• Uses an actor for it's position tracking so that it could be placed on moving sectors without any clips.
• Still saves the game in GZDoom's Multiplayer.
• Collision-Safe. It's unable to telefrag existing Players.
• Sprite Bridge Safe. (If a map uses one...)
• Fail-Safe. Holding zoom cancels you out of it's effects if the destination is undesirable.
• Warp-Safe. Gives you respawn protection to protect against sudden hazards after warps.
• Mod-Safe. Designed to run with anything!
• Customizable. You can adjust it's behavior using Cvars.
• Mapper Friendly. You only need to place the Save Disk object on the map to use the system.
• Presets.

==================================
The resource only .WAD version for .PK3 Projects
==================================

============================================================
 

The checkpoint system was primarilly designed as a resource for mappers, but the people I've shown this to expressed of adding sometype of way to place this into pre-existing maps.
So I made a preset sysem that uses ACS to manually place checkpoints down by levnum.
As a demonstration, the only mapset supported is AUGER;ZENITH.

=================================
Standalone .PK3 with Presets.

Oh hey, I've seen some people use something like this before. Specifically, @exl has a checkpoint floppy in his WAD, Infection:

 

 

The new features and the added animations on the sprite are really neat. Lovely work, Mata. I'm really digging all the cool stuff you've been doing lately! :^)

Offtopic, but it's driving me mad that in the gif he doesn't grab the shotgun before moving forward.
