Respawn point

So i have made myself a respawn script,problem is that when i trigger it ,my player jumps to that position locks in place,and it takes some seconds before it gets freed. here’s the code i put togheter;

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class IFIHADACAT : MonoBehaviour {
	public Vector3 spawnpoint;
	public float life;
	public bool respawn;
	public Vector3 checkpoint;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		life = 1;
		respawn = false;
	}
	void RespawnPlayer () {
		transform.position = spawnpoint;
	}
	void OnCollision2D (Collider2D col){
		if (col.gameObject.tag == "CheckPoint")
			spawnpoint = checkpoint;
	}
	
	// Update is 	called once per frame
	void Update () {
		if (life == 0) {
			respawn = true;
		}
		if (respawn) {
			StartCoroutine (riperino ());
		}
	}
	IEnumerator riperino() {
		Debug.Log ("ded");

		yield return new WaitForSeconds (4);
		Debug.Log ("ugh,you again?");
		RespawnPlayer ();
		respawn = false;

	}

}

P.s. i also want to move my spawn point to my check point but i don’t know why it doesn’t work.Thanks in advance.

You are starting your Coroutine every frame that your lives are 0 and respawn is true, but you don’t set respawn to false for after 4 seconds. The method starts every frame for those 4 seconds. It should look like this.

     IEnumerator riperino() {
         Debug.Log ("ded");
         respawn = false;

         yield return new WaitForSeconds (4);
         Debug.Log ("ugh,you again?");
         RespawnPlayer ();
}

As far as the checkpoint goes I assume you’re setting it in the inspector. Is the collision being detected? Make sure the tag is exact and that one object has a Rigidbody2D.
