Loading next level, but next level never gets incremented.

Ok so now my problem is about loading levels. if you scroll down to the die function it is supposed to load the nextLevel and then increase nextlevel bu one so that next time it loads the level after this one. But it keeps loading the same level over and over. I have added all levels to build settings in order.

var target;
//target = transform.Find("Character");
var damp : int = 3; 
var attackRange = 3; // safe distance from the player
var followRange = 50; //distance required for enemy to start following
var bulletPrefab : Transform; 
var savedTime = 0;
var explosionPrefab : Transform;
var killsNeeded = 10;
var nextLevel = 2;
var shootSound : AudioClip;
var dieSound : AudioClip;

var hitPoints = 3;

function Update () 
{   
target = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player");

if((followRange > Vector3.Distance(target.transform.position, transform.position )) &&     (attackRange != Vector3.Distance(target.transform.position, transform.position )))     // if the enemy is closer than the follow range
{
    follow(target);
}

var seconds : int = Time.time;
var oddeven = (seconds % 2);

if ((attackRange >= Vector3.Distance(target.transform.position, transform.position )) &&(oddeven))
    Shoot(seconds);
}

function follow(target)
{
    if( attackRange < Vector3.Distance(target.transform.position, transform.position))   //if enemy is farther than attack range
{
    transform.LookAt(target.transform); //look at target
    transform.Translate (0,0,6*Time.deltaTime, Space.Self ); //move towards target
}
}

function Shoot(seconds)
{
    if(seconds != savedTime)
{
    audio.PlayOneShot(shootSound);
    var shoot = Instantiate(bulletPrefab, transform.Find("BulletSpawn").transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
    shoot.gameObject.tag = "enemyProjectile";
    shoot.rigidbody.AddForce(transform.forward * 1000);

    savedTime = seconds;
}
}

function OnTriggerEnter(hit : Collider)
{
if(hit.gameObject.tag == "fallout")
{
     Die();
}

if(hit.gameObject.tag == "playerProjectile")
{
    hitPoints -= 1;
    //Destroy(hit.gameObject);

    if(hitPoints < 1)
    {
        Die();
    }
}
}

function Die()
{
    audio.PlayOneShot(dieSound);
    MoveAround.kills++;
    botMaker.AlienCount--;
    //MoveAround.scored = true;

    if (MoveAround.kills >= killsNeeded)
    {
        Application.LoadLevel(nextLevel);
        healthControl = 6;
        MoveAround.kills = 0;
        botMaker.AlienCount = 0;
        nextLevel++;
}

Destroy(gameObject);
var explode = Instantiate(explosionPrefab, gameObject.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
}

I don't see a `DontDestroyOnLoad (gameObject)` in there. If this object (I'm assuming it's some enemy behavior) gets destroyed when a new level is loaded, none of the code beyond `Application.LoadLevel(nextLevel);` will count. You either need to separate the functionality for loading new levels into a GameObject that lives between scenes or make `nextLevel` static and make sure it's executed before the object is destroyed (perhaps using `Application.LoadLevel (nextLevel++);`.

Both the above answers work properly. what I did was I declared the nextlevel variable in another script which is attached to a game object that never gets destroyed.

The variable 'nextLevel' only lives as long as the object you attach this script to. When you destroy it your changes are gone. You need to store that value somewhere global or static.
