Well, I've asked this before a long time ago, but I didn't get the best answer.
If the player would happen to die by a monster, how do I reset so the monster will spawn again with the best method?

I know I have to use Local Variables to do it, but I don't concider placing a collidebox at the spawnpoint a good method, as the player tend to go back and trigger it by mistake, so the stuff will be resetted again.

You cannot reset monsters, and if you could reactivate the monster, it would therefore start where the player died, which would therefore require scripting that keeps track of where the monster was last seen. The game was designed so that monsters would not provide a trial-and-error experience for the player.

The ResetProp does not work on monsters?
Hmm.. I don't find it too good to make a monster appear once, and if the player dies, he can easily pass by without encountering it again.
