How to change scenes when time hits zero

Questions & Answers

I’ve been able to make a countdown timer for my game but have been unable to set it up so that when the timer ends/ hits zero, it switches to a game over scene.

Here’s the time script that I’m working with:

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

public class Countdown : MonoBehaviour
{
	public float timeStart = 60;
	public Text textBox;
	
	void Start()
	{
		textBox.text = timeStart.ToString();
	}
	
	void Update()
	{
		timeStart -= Time.deltaTime;
		textBox.text = Mathf.Round(timeStart).ToString();
	}
}

Help would be much appreciated :slight_smile:
