In your game projects, there may be times when the player character is destroyed through gameplay and you will want to respawn them back into the world.
In this How-To guide, you will learn how to set up a simple respawn system using the Third Person Template, for a single-player, non-replicated game. You will then be tasked with implementing functionality for the Game Mode class, which will respawn a third-person player character back into your Level.
Project Setup
You will start by creating a new Third Person Template and setting up input mappings from the Project Settings. These input mappings will enable the respawn functionality, that you will create for your Player Character.
-
Begin by creating a new Games > Third Person > Blueprint project named RespawnPlayer.
Click for full view.
-
Navigate to Edit > Project Settings > Engine > Input, then under the Details panel's Bindings category, click Add (+) next to the Action Mappings variable to create a new Action Mapping named Restart.
Click for full view.
-
Set the Restart Action Mapping key value to R.
Click for full view.
Implementing the RespawnPlayerGameMode Class
In this example, the GameMode class is responsible for respawning the player character class when it is destroyed during gameplay. You will be tasked with implementing this functionality through the use of Event Dispatchers.
-
In the Content Browser, navigate to Content > ThirdPerson > Blueprints and double-click the ThirdPersonGameMode Blueprint to open its Class Defaults.
-
In the Class Defaults, click the Open Full Blueprint Editor link.
-
In the My Blueprint panel, navigate to the Event Dispatchers category and click Add (+) to create a new Event Dispatcher named OnPlayerDied.
-
Navigate to the Details panel, then under the Inputs category click Add (+) to create a new input parameter of Blueprint class type Character, then name it Character.
-
Right-click the Event Graph to bring up the Actions menu, then search for and select Event BeginPlay.

From the My Blueprint panel, navigate to the Functions category and click the Override button. Then, from the dropdown menu select the Destroyed.
When selecting the Override button from the Functions category, each function lists the class from which the Character inherits its override. A Destroyed event is listed because the Character class inherits from the Actor class, which contains its own Destroyed function.

Navigate back to the Editor and click Play in Editor (PIE).
You can control your character's movement around the map by using the W, A, S, D keys.
When you press the R key your player character will disappear momentarily, then respawn at the Player Start Location.
Project Setup
You will start by creating a new Third Person Template and setting up input mappings from the Project Settings. These input mappings will enable the respawn functionality, that you will create for your Player Character.
- Begin by creating a new Games > Third Person > C++ project named RespawnPlayer.
Click for full view.
- Navigate to Edit > Project Settings >Engine > Input, then from the Details panel's Bindings category, click the Add (+) button next to the Action Mappings variable to create a new Action Mapping named Restart.
Click for full view.
- Set the Restart Action Mapping key value to R.
Click for full view.
Implementing the RespawnPlayerGameMode Class
In this example, the GameMode class is responsible for respawning the player character class when the player character is destroyed during gameplay. You will be tasked with implementing this functionality through the use of Delegates.
-
From the Content Browser, navigate to your C++ Classes folder and double-click the RespawnPlayerGameMode to open its
RespawnPlayerGameMode.h.
-
Inside the
RespawnPlayerGameMode.hfile, declare the following code under your library include declarations:DECLARE_DYNAMIC_MULTICAST_DELEGATE_OneParam(FOnPlayerDiedSignature, ACharacter*, Character);This action creates a Dynamic Multicast delegate FOnPlayerDiedSignature for your Game mode class to bind when your Player Character dies.
-
Next, declare the following class declarations:
public: const FOnPlayerDiedSignature& GetOnPlayerDied() const { return OnPlayerDied; } //Tries to Spawn the player's pawn. virtual void RestartPlayer(AController* NewPlayer) override; protected: virtual void BeginPlay() override; //Called when Player character has died. UFUNCTION() virtual void PlayerDied(ACharacter* Character); //Signature to bind delegate. UPROPERTY() FOnPlayerDiedSignature OnPlayerDied;RestartPlayer is a method that already exists within the GameModeBase class. It tries to spawn the player's Pawn at the location returned by FindPlayerStart.
-
Navigate to your
RespawnPlayerGameMode.cppfile and implement the following class methodsvoid ARespawnPlayerGameMode::BeginPlay() { Super::BeginPlay(); //Bind our Player died delegate to the Gamemode's PlayerDied function. if (!OnPlayerDied.IsBound()) { OnPlayerDied.AddDynamic(this, &ARespawnPlayerGameMode::PlayerDied); } } void ARespawnPlayerGameMode::RestartPlayer(AController* NewPlayer) { Super::RestartPlayer(NewPlayer); } void ARespawnPlayerGameMode::PlayerDied(ACharacter* Character) { //Get a reference to our Character's Player Controller AController* CharacterController = Character->GetController(); RestartPlayer(CharacterController); } -

Implementing the RespawnPlayerCharacter
You will now be tasked with implementing the logic used to destroy the RespawnPlayerCharacter, and implement respawn through the RespawnPlayerGameMode's class.
-
From the Content Browser, navigate to your C++ Classes folder and double-click the RespawnPlayerCharacter to open its
RespawnPlayerCharacter.hfile.
-
Inside the
RespawnPlayerCharacter.hfile, declare the following code:protected: //Called when our Actor is destroyed during Gameplay. virtual void Destroyed(); //Call Gamemode class to Restart Player Character. void CallRestartPlayer();In this declaration, the Destroyed method is marked with
virtualbecause the Character class inherits from the Actor class, which contains its own destroyed method. -
Navigate to your
RespawnPlayerCharacter.cppfile, then declare the following class library include:#include "RespawnPlayerGameMode.h"You will include the Gamemode library declaration to later call its class functionality from thePlayer Character class.
-
Next, add the following
RespawnPlayerCharacterclass methods.void ARespawnPlayerCharacter::Destroyed() { Super::Destroyed(); // Example to bind to OnPlayerDied event in GameMode. if (UWorld* World = GetWorld()) { if (ARespawnPlayerGameMode* GameMode = Cast<ARespawnPlayerGameMode>(World->GetAuthGameMode())) { GameMode->GetOnPlayerDied().Broadcast(this); } } } void ARespawnPlayerCharacter::CallRestartPlayer() { //Get a reference to the Pawn Controller. AController* CortollerRef = GetController(); //Destroy the Player. Destroy(); //Get the World and GameMode in the world to invoke its restart player function. if (UWorld* World = GetWorld()) { if (ARespawnPlayerGameMode* GameMode = Cast<ARespawnPlayerGameMode>(World->GetAuthGameMode())) { GameMode->RestartPlayer(CortollerRef); } } }
The CallRestartPlayer function will destroy the player character and is called when the R key is pressed. The Destroy method will usually be called when the player loses enough health from a Gameplay event that causes your player character to despawn.

Navigate to the
SetupPlayerInputComponentmethod and declare the following code:void ARespawnPlayerCharacter::SetupPlayerInputComponent(class UInputComponent* PlayerInputComponent) { //Sets up an input key action to call Restart Player.
