  This may sound confusing but i hope i help you
  
  what you want to do is make an actor in this case i will refer to it as a checkpoint flag because that seems to be what you are aiming for
  
  the way i would go about this is creating a real attribute called checkpoint_1
  
  then under your player create a rule
  (when player overlaps or collides with actor of type checkpoint flag change attribute game.checkpoint_1 to true
  
  now create another actor and call it spawner and change its opacity to 0
  
  in the spawner create a rule stating that when attribute game.checkpoint_1 is true spawn actor (then enter the location )
  
  the only problem is that you will need an attribute for each checkpoint flag you have for example
  
  checkpoint_1
  checkpoint_2
  checkpoint_3
  
  hope this helped message back if you need any more help!!

  Let me try to explain it a little different. Ill use an example with 2 checkpoints
  
  Attributes
  Create a integer attribute called "Checkpoint"
  Create a real attribute "Checkpoint_X
  Create a real attribute "Checkpoint_Y"
  
  Actors
  Create an actor called "Checkpoint"
  
  Place 2 Checkpoint actors on the scene and unlock them
  Place them in different parts of the scene
  
  Checkpoint 1:
  When Character collides with first Checkpoint change attribute Checkpoint to 1
  If checkpoint = 1 change attribute Checkpoint_X to self.position.X and change attribute Checkpoint_Y to self.position.Y
  
  
  Checkpoint 2: When character collides with second Checkpoint change attribute Checkpoint to 2
  If checkpoint = 2 change attribute Checkpoint_X to self.position.X and change attribute Checkpoint_Y to self.position.Y
  
  Inside character:
  When dies change attribute self.position.x to Checkpoint_X and change attribute self.position.y to Checkpoint_Y
  
  You can also use the interpolate behavior to move the character back instead of changing its position immediately.
  
  This way you don't spawn a character, but instead reuse it.
  
  If you need a template feel free to ask
  
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  If you want to do it via Gamers_Inc's method here are the answers to your questions:
  
  what kind of attribute should I use? Real
  
  does opacity mean visible? Yes
  
  who is the spawner? The spawner is an actor that will respawn the player at the last checkpoint
  
  so when I overlap that "checkpoint flag actor" and then when my actor gets destroy it will go to that point? Yes
