How to restart a level with countdown?

Questions & Answers

i'm usinga countdown timer script, which keeps going on and on and on... how to restart the level if the time is over? (0:00)

When the timer reaches zero (I'm assuming you have that set up already), simply do this:

Application.LoadLevel(Application.loadedLevel);

That will "restart" the current scene (excluding any persistent game objects which have `DontDestroyOnLoad` set on them).

Try adding this to your script:

    if (restSeconds == 0)
{
Application.LoadLevel(loadedLevel);
}

Make sure you make a variable to tell unity what the loaded level is. ex:

    var loadedLevel : int;
loadedLevel = 4;
//for example 4

I hope this helps! :)

This is what I’m using for my game, and it works just fine.

private var startTime;
private var restSeconds : int;
private var roundedRestSeconds : int;
private var displaySeconds : int;
private var displayMinutes : int;
 
var countDownSeconds : int;
 
function Awake() {
    startTime = Time.time;
}
 
function OnGUI () {
    //make sure that your time is based on when this script was first called
    //instead of when your game started
    var guiTime = Time.time - startTime;
 
    restSeconds = countDownSeconds - (guiTime);
 
    //display messages or whatever here -->do stuff based on your timer
    if (restSeconds == 60) {
        print ("One Minute Left");
    }
    if (restSeconds == 0) {
        Application.LoadLevel("What ever you're scene is called");
        
    }
 
    //display the timer
    roundedRestSeconds = Mathf.CeilToInt(restSeconds);
    displaySeconds = roundedRestSeconds % 60;
    displayMinutes = roundedRestSeconds / 60; 
 
    text = String.Format ("{0:00}:{1:00}", displayMinutes, displaySeconds); 
    GUI.Label (Rect (400, 25, 100, 30), text);
}

Use: 

 Application.LoadLevel(1); //where 1 is the number of the level in build settings.
