Delaying the spawning of a player after death

How do I...?
1

I have a 3-lives game, and the way it’s set up now, the player respawns almost instantaneously after death… a little too soon.

I’ve tried to create a timer to delay the respawn of the player, but when I do it simply doesn’t respawn at all.

Here’s what I’ve got below!

The reset timer should come at the end of the condition above

This is so that when the shuttle is destroyed in the collision, then after 2 seconds of that the re-spawning occurs. Also after doing that if it still doesn’t work then the re-spawn code, don’t keep it as a sub-condition of the shuttle being destroyed.

Okay, I tried that, and everything else is resetting properly except for the shuttle itself. The necessary counters reset properly; but the shuttle itself just won’t appear.

Would adding an “if” condition make a difference?

there isn’t an if condition(unless you mean the one under function well as far as I know ) as conditions as far as I understand is the if statements the timer thing would work but since your deleting the shuttle and its a subevent of the collision with metro and shuttle the timer wouldn’t work because it’s not in a collision as it’s been deleted(i assume that’s what happening) so move the event with timer in it outside to be a normal event, not subevent

Aha! Got it! For some reason it only worked when I set the value for the number of shuttles as “less than or equal to” 0 instead of just “less than” 0. Also, I switched the timer to a scene timer instead of an object timer. But it’s finally working now! Thank you for the help!
