How to Respawn Your Player in UE5: Kill Z & Falling Out of Map: Unreal Engine 5 for Beginners #21
Don't let your player fall into the void forever! In Part 21 of the Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial Series, we cover the essential "Kill Z" setting and how to handle player respawning.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to define a "death height" for your level so that falling off a platform has consequences. We’ll jump into the Third Person Character Blueprint to set up a simple but effective respawn system using the "Open Level by Name" node, ensuring your game loop never breaks!
