Adding Lives System to my game

Question

Hi

I am doing the early development of my game at the moment which is a simple block breaker/arkanoid type game and want to program in a lives system where the player starts the game with 3 lives which decreases by one each time the ball is missed by the paddle and a lose scene is loaded once lives reach zero. Also on life being lost I need the ball to reset and rest on the paddle in order to continue the level

alt text

Attached is what I have done so far, I am still learning at the moment so I may be miles off point

I have publically exposed a lives component which can be set in the editor however I will probably set this to a default 3 in code, I also want to link to a UI text element to display clearly to the user.

Any help or advice appreciated

There are lots of cheap plugins out there that will help integrate lives in your game very easily. I recommend "Lives System Pro - Easy Life Integration for Freemium Games" found here https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/69842
