How do i activate lose screen
I have a lose screen that activates after you fail a level all that is fine but how do i match the game object in my hierarchy to the one in the script i tried using tags but i keep getting null reference exception i know what it means but i just can't get it to work i even tried looking up a guide by unity but all they showed me was gameobject.SetActive(false); they didnt tell me if i needed to put anything outiside of script and I'm really confused please help!
We're going to need more details in order to provide meaningful assistance with this problem. I would recommend showing us at least a few relevant lines of your script where the problem occurs (the null reference exceptions state which line the problem occurs on) and maybe a picture or two related to the problem.
For example, the picture could be of your object in the hierarchy with the tag you're searching for.

There are two simple ways to get one object into the scene:
The first one is to find the object by code (c#):
GameObject Menu = GameObject.Find("name");
NOTE: This will not find anything if the object is not active
The second one is to declare a public variable and assign its value from editor
public GameObject Menu;
If menu object is disabled then you can use
Menu.SetActive(true);
