Question by infinite_progress · Feb 07, 2014 at 05:13 PM · playerrespawn

How do I respawn the Player after it dies?

I'm trying to make a 2D side-scrolling space shooter and I made a Player which has 3 lives and is supposed to respawn when it dies until lives = 0.

Here's my script written in C#, but it's not working correctly... I'm new to this, can anyone help?

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Death : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public int lives = 3;
     public GameObject Player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
 
     void  OnTriggerEnter2D ( Collider2D col  ){
         lives--;
         if (col.gameObject.tag == "Enemy") {
             Destroy(gameObject);
             if(lives > 0){
                 GameObject PlayerClone = (GameObject)Instantiate(Player, new Vector2(0,0), Quaternion.identity);
             }
             //else RESTART/MENU (i'll write this later)
         }
     }
 }

Do you need to Destroy the gameObject?

$$anonymous$$y respawns tend to just take the player on death and transform that object to a new (respawn) position.

You really don't need to destroy the gameObject when your character is "killed" just use renderer.enabled = false, then renderer.enabled = true to respawn it.

With that said, the way you have it set up, you won't even see it disappear. Try this:

 void  OnTriggerEnter2D ( Collider2D col  ){
     lives--;
     if (col.gameObject.tag == "Enemy") {
         if (lives > 0) {
             StartCoroutine (Dead ());
         }
     }

 IEnumerator Dead() {
     Debug.Log ("dead");
     renderer.enabled = false;
     yield return new WaitForSeconds(5);
     Debug.Log ("respawn");
     renderer.enabled = true;
 }

Thank you! :D However, in your script you were missing a "}" before the IEnumerator line. I also added the "gameObject.transform.position" line as the other answer suggested and it works great :)

I assume that this script is added to the player, yes? If so, your issue lies in this part:

 if (col.gameObject.tag == "Enemy") {
          Destroy(gameObject);

In this line, you've destroyed the gameobject that the Death script is attached to. Most likely, what you'd want to do instead is to move [`gameobject.transform.position`] back to the starting position.

If you're looking for just a simple way to restart the level altogether, you can call:

 Application.LoadLevel(Application.loadedLevel);

Hope this helps!

I put in this script for a character respawn:

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class PlayerDie : MonoBehaviour {

 // Use this for initialization
 void Start () {
     
 }
 
 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update () {
     
     
 }
 void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision){
     if (collision.gameObject.name "End") {
         Destroy(gameObject);        
     }
 }
 
 //player respawn
 
 if (gameObject Destroy){
     current.transformation.position new vector3(10, 0, 300);
 }

But now it doesn't seem to work. It tells me there is a parsing error on line 24, and that "End" is an unknown entity. Can anyone help me?
