also Kurt Dekker if you visit this,let me say i respect the grind

 

Forgot to add ,the error is in line 38 of the pause script,probably the deathcontroller.HasDied Bool

 

The bool won‘t nullref. But the deathcontroller field is null. You have a debugger at your disposal, use it.

 

Oh and … never forget that identifiers are case sensitive in C# (or almost every programming language).

start() won‘t run unless you call it.
Start() is what gets called by Unity automatically.

 

Right,I got told the same when i asked on the unity discord,the worst thing is that it works perfectly,thanks anyway!
