Is this the script that respawns the character? Try putting braces around that ‘if(dead)’ bit- I’ve fixed up the formatting to better describe what will happen there. Without the braces around that part, it will reset the position _every frame_, preventing you from moving, and it will also prevent damage (because it resets the ‘dead’ flag every frame as well).

Try this:

```
function Update()
{
       if (dead)
       {
           Debug.Log("Died, Respawning!");
           health = 100;
           transform.position = Vector3(-9,2,-48);
           dead = false;
       }
}

```
