I use the GetDamage method in my PlayerManager script on enemy objects.

I want to use the AmIDead method and my amIDead variable in the PlayerMovement script to activate the Restart Menu canvas when my character dies, but I cannot change it.

What should I not do?

PlayerMovement

if (deadCheck.amIDead == true)
{
    restartMenu.SetActive(true);
}

PlayerManager

public float health;
public bool amIDead = false;

public void GetDamage(float damage)
{
    if ((health - damage) > 0)
    {
        health -= damage;
    }
    else
    {
        health = 0;
        Destroy(GameObject.FindWithTag("Player"));
    }
    AmIDead();
}

void AmIDead()
{
    if (health <= 0)
    {
        amIDead = true;
    }
}

Is PlayerMovement component destroyed by Destroy(GameObject.FindWithTag("Player")); by any chance? Because that would torpedo this logic for sure.

I suggest moving this code to PlayerManager component and execute as part of AmIDead() method:

if (deadCheck.amIDead == true)
{
    restartMenu.SetActive(true);
}
