Respawn back at the old position.

Hi! I am a newbie trying to learn creating a game for my fyp. So my game about a maze game (using a fpc) and inside the maze, there consist several checkpoint that triggers when player collide with the checkpoint. The problem right now is that after the player finished inside the checkpoint’s scene (2D game) and go back to the main game scene, they always respawn at the exact first place of the starting game. I am trying to make them respawn back near the checkpoint that they have finished. I tried using
the save and load player position data but it doesn’t work. Please help me. Thank you.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class SavePlayerPos : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject player;

    private void Start()
    {
        if(PlayerPrefs.GetInt("Saved") == 1 && PlayerPrefs.GetInt("TimeToLoad") == 1)
        {
            float pX = player.transform.position.x;
            float pY = player.transform.position.y;
            float pZ = player.transform.position.z;

            pX = PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("p_x");
            pY = PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("p_y");
            pZ = PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("p_z");

            player.transform.position = new Vector3(pX, pY, pZ);

            PlayerPrefs.SetInt("TimeToLoad", 0);
            PlayerPrefs.Save();
        }
    }
    public void PlayerPosSave()
    {
        PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("p_x", player.transform.position.x);
        PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("p_y", player.transform.position.y);
        PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("p_z", player.transform.position.z);

        PlayerPrefs.SetInt("Saved", 1);
        PlayerPrefs.Save();
    }

    public void PlayerPosLoad()
    {
        PlayerPrefs.SetInt("TimeToLoad", 1);
        PlayerPrefs.Save();
    }
}

and this is my script for the object that triggers the changing scene

    using System.Collections;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using UnityEngine;
    using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
    
    public class ChangeScene : MonoBehaviour
    {
    
        SavePlayerPos playerPosData;
    
        void Start()
        {
            playerPosData = FindObjectOfType<SavePlayerPos>();
        }
    
        public void GoBackToGame1()
        {
            playerPosData.PlayerPosSave();
            playerPosData.PlayerPosLoad();
            SceneManager.LoadScene("Level 1");
        }

if you don’t want to use playerprefs thing, you can watch this vid HOW TO MAKE CHECKPOINTS IN UNITY - EASY TUTORIAL - YouTube
it’s also very simple

When you restart the game you have to reset the start position, if you sae the check point position, then set it to the start position. I sometimes use a script that saves the position in OnStart() or OnAwake() and then uses that position when ever the game restarts, that works great when you set up your player in your scene.

Vector3 startPos;
Start(){
startPos=transform.position;}

RestartGame(){
transform.position=startPos;}
