Reset Score and Health

Scripting
1

I’ve read several threads and discussions similar to this subject, and tried many methods; but still seem to be doing something wrong…

I have a script that controls the health, a player script, and a script to load a level when I come to the game over screen.
I basically wanted to reset the player score back to 0 and the LIVES back to 3 after I die, or win so that it won’t keep sending me back to the gameOver/Win screen.

Here is the health script:

var health1 : Texture2D; //onelife
var health2 : Texture2D; //twolives
var health3 : Texture2D; //fullhealth

static var LIVES = 3;


function Update () 
{
	switch(LIVES)
{
	case 3:
		guiTexture.texture = health3;
	break;
	
	case 2:
		guiTexture.texture = health2;
	break;
	
	case 1:
		guiTexture.texture = health1;	
	break;
	
	case 0:
	//gameover script "here"	
		Application.LoadLevel(2);
	break;
}
}

Here is my Player Script:

var speed = 6.0;
var jumpSpeed = 8.0;
var gravity = 20.0;
var movement : PlatformerControllerMovement;
static var dead = false;
static var gotHit = false;


// The character will spawn at spawnPoint's position when needed.  This could be changed via a script at runtime to implement, e.g. waypoints/savepoints.
var spawnPoint : Transform;

private var moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
private var grounded : boolean = false;

function FixedUpdate() {
	if (grounded) {
		// We are grounded, so recalculate movedirection directly from axes
		moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxis("Vertical"), 0);		
		moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
		moveDirection *= speed;
		
		if (Input.GetButton ("Jump")) {
			moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed;
			
		}
	}

	// Apply gravity
	moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
	
	// Move the controller
	var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);
	var flags = controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
	grounded = (flags  CollisionFlags.CollidedBelow) != 0;
}

static var playerScore : int;
//GUI Score
function OnGUI(){

	GUI.Label(Rect(10,10,100,50), ""+ playerScore);
}


function Update() {

	if(playerScore >= 6) {
	Application.LoadLevel (3);
	playerScore = 0;
	LIVES = 3;
	}
}





function Awake () {


	movement.direction = transform.TransformDirection (Vector3.forward);
	controller = GetComponent (CharacterController);
	Spawn ();
}

function Spawn () {
	// reset the character's speed
	movement.verticalSpeed = 0.0;
	movement.speed = 0.0;
	
	// reset the character's position to the spawnPoint
	transform.position = spawnPoint.position;
	
}

function OnDeath () {
	Spawn ();
}

function OnTriggerEnter( hit : Collider){

	
	if(hit.gameObject.tag == "EnemyBullet")
	{
		dead = true;
		gotHit = true;
		HealthControl.LIVES -= 1;
		
	}
	
	if(hit.gameObject.tag == "Enemy")
	{ 
		dead = true;
		gotHit = true;
		HealthControl.LIVES -=1;
		
	}
}







@script RequireComponent(CharacterController)

And heres the game over script:

var isPlayAgain = false;
var isQuitButton = false;

function OnMouseEnter()
{
	//change the color of the text
	renderer.material.color = Color.green;
}

function OnMouseExit()
{
	//change the color of the text
	renderer.material.color = Color.white;
}


function OnMouseUp()
{
	//are we dealing with a Quit Button?
	if( isQuitButton )
	{
			//quit the game
			Application.Quit();
	}
	if( isPlayAgain )
	{
			//play again
			Application.LoadLevel(1);
	}
	
}

I’ve been told to change the static variables to private; but I usually get errors; considering I have other scripts that relate to those variables.
I’ve also tried putting playerScore = 0; and LIVES = 3; underneath, and above the application.LoadLevel scripting.

Does anyone have suggestions on what to place and where to place it? =)

If you use ‘code’ tags rather than ‘quote’ tags when posting code, it’ll be easier to read.

Fixed. Sorry about that.

In your Update() method in your PlayerScript, you say:

LIVES = 3;

Shouldn’t that be:

HealthControl.LIVES = 3;

?
