If no Player is assigned it will search for the Animal that has the Player option enabled:

It will listen to the States this character has, and if the character activates **Death** State it will Restart the scene.&#x20;

If the Player parameter set is a Prefab it will instantiate it on the Respawn point.

This component works along with the CheckPoint component. If an animal enters a checkpoint the Respawner will move to that Checkpoint position and it will store the last State the animal use on that checkpoint.

## Parameters

### Player

&#x20;Reference for the Animal Player. If this parameter is empty the Respawner will find the Player Animal on the scene Using MAnimal.MainAnimal.&#x20;

You can assign a Prefab here, without having an animal on the scene, this Animal Prefab will be instantiated on Start.

### Respawn Point

Position to instantiate the animal. Usually is set to the same GameObject that has this component

### Respawn State

State on which the Animal will be respawned. This value by default is Idle. When an animal interacts with a **CheckPoint**, the Last State that the animal had before entering the checkpoint.

### Respawn Time

### Destroy After Respawn
