So, I am new to game development. tbh I’m new to GDScript. So I am making this platformer where there will be a lava pit under the floating grounds and if the player falls in the lava the player will die. But I can’t figure out how to kill the player if the lava is touched and how to make the player respawn at the starting point of the game after they die.

Hello,
That’s quite an open ended question.
If it’s an node object, you can free it and it will vanish. You can then create a new node object.
Or you can move it off screen, have it die, move it back…

Maybe watch a platformer tutorial ?
