Player still moving when speed should = 0 [C#]

Questions & Answers
1

So I’ve got a ship that moves up and down when you tilt the device, but when the lives reach zero, I want the ship to stop. I have an if statement for when lives equal zero for the speed to then reach zero and an overlay to occur. The overlay works but the ship still moves up and down. Can anyone help with my problem as I honestly have no clue =( Code below (but it might not conform to the standard format at the mo!)

public class PlayerScript : MonoBehaviour {

	// Use this for initialization
	
	public float speed = 10.0f;
	
	public int lives = 5;

	void Start(){
				speed = 10f;
		}
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {	
								Vector3 dir = Vector3.zero;
				
				dir.x = 0;
				dir.z = 0;
				dir.y = (Input.acceleration.y);
				if (dir.sqrMagnitude > 1)
						dir.Normalize ();
				dir *= Time.deltaTime;
				

				
				if (lives == 0) {
					transform.parent.gameObject.AddComponent<GameOver> ();
speed = 0;
					

				}
			if (lives >= 1) { 
						transform.Translate (dir * speed);
				}
				
}

Try this:

public class PlayerScript : MonoBehaviour {
    // Use this for initialization
    public float speed = 10.0f;
    public int lives = 5;

    void Start(){
          speed = 10f;
	}
	
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update () {   
         if (lives == 0) {
			transform.Translate(Vector3.zero);
			transform.parent.gameObject.AddComponent<GameOver> ();
			transform.Translate(Vector3.zero);
         }
         if (lives >= 1) { 
			Vector3 dir = Vector3.zero;
			dir.x = 0;
			dir.z = 0;
			dir.y = (Input.acceleration.y);
			if (dir.sqrMagnitude > 1)
				 dir.Normalize ();
			dir *= Time.deltaTime;
			transform.Translate (dir * speed);
          }
	}
}
