time countdown then respawn

hi. i’m trying make a counter that when depleted will make the character respawn but have no idea where to start. could someone please help?

Something like this should work:

var respawnTime : float; //enter respawn time in the inspector

function Update(){ 
   respawnTime -= Time.deltaTime;
   if (respawnTime <= 0){ 
       //respawn code here
   } 
}
