Help - Player Respawn Help

Questions & Answers

To all the people of the Unity world wide website, if you could give me a moment of your time and help me figure out why my script isn’t working. You see I’ve downloaded a simple health system that I obtain on the Unity Asset store (Grid Digital - Simple Health System) to create a health system, and have being trying to create a scrip that will respawn the player once they lost all there health.

However no matter what I try it doesn’t work, you see I’ve coded a respawn script, and it works perfectly fine.
var startPosition : Transform;

function OnTriggerEnter(theCollider : Collider) 
{
    theCollider.transform.position = startPosition.position;
}

As you can see the script works, however when I tried to create my own script that states that the player will respawn once he/she loses all his health.
var OneHeart : Texture2D; //These variables contain the textures used for the gui.
var TwoHearts : Texture2D;
var ThreeHearts : Texture2D;
var FourHearts : Texture2D;
var NoHearts : Texture2D;

static var Hearts : int = 4; //This is the amount of hearts the character has.

var startPosition : Transform;

function OnTriggerEnter(theCollider : Collider)
{
	if(Hearts < 0)
	{
	Hearts = 0;
	}
		else
		{
			theCollider.transform.position = startPosition.position;
			guiTexture.texture = FourHearts;
		}
	
}

For my life I can’t see what is wrong, the script should work fine, but it doesn’t. Additionally the health script form the Simple Health System is as followed…

var OneHeart : Texture2D; //These variables contain the textures used for the gui.
var TwoHearts : Texture2D;
var ThreeHearts : Texture2D;
var FourHearts : Texture2D;
var NoHearts : Texture2D;

static var Hearts : int = 4; //This is the amount of hearts the character has.

function Update (){
	if(Hearts == 4){ //These if statements change the Gui Texture based on the static var Hearts.
		guiTexture.texture=FourHearts;
	}
	if(Hearts == 3){
		guiTexture.texture=ThreeHearts;
	}
	if(Hearts == 2){
		guiTexture.texture=TwoHearts;
	}
	if(Hearts == 1){
		guiTexture.texture=OneHeart;
	}
	if(Hearts == 0){
		guiTexture.texture=NoHearts;
	}
	
	
	if(Hearts > 4){ //These two if statements keep the static var Hearts within the 0-4 range.
		Hearts = 4;
	}
	if(Hearts < 0){
		Hearts = 0;
	}
}

I was wondering if anyone could just look over my script and see why it is not working, any help would be great.

I don’t know what your doing exactly, but for player respawns you could always reload the level that you are on. Although I don’t know what’s wrong with your code

if(Hearts = 0){
    Application.LoadLevel( "The level you are playing" );
}

This won’t work if you just want them to respawn, and you want the things that they have interacted with to remain.

I don’t know much about transforms, but on a wild guess, is line 13 supposed to say

theCollider.transform.position = startPosition.transform. position;

You could try Instantiating a new Character Controller with all the scripts attached and deleting the old one when the health equals 0.
