Can you help set up some print/debug logs to see whether things are triggering as intended?

Also, if possible, can you try getting a video of the bug happening?

For the prints, can you add them here:

UI Manager:

    public void StartDeactivateDeathScreenCoroutine()
    {
        print("Called by GameManager");
        StartCoroutine(DeactivateDeathScreen());
        print("Activating Deactivate");
    }

    public IEnumerator DeactivateDeathScreen()
    {
        print("Activated");
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
        deathScreen.SetActive(false);
        print("Death screen off");
        StartCoroutine(sceneFader.Fade(SceneFader.FadeDirection.Out));
    }

and GameManager:

    public void RespawnPlayer()
    {
        if (lantern != null) {
            if (lantern.interacted)
            {
                respawnPoint = lantern.transform.position;
            }
            else
            {
                respawnPoint = platformingRespawnPoint;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            respawnPoint = platformingRespawnPoint;
        }

        PlayerController.Instance.transform.position = respawnPoint + new Vector2(0, 2f); ;
        // StartCoroutine(UIManager.Instance.DeactivateDeathScreen());

        Rigidbody2D rb = PlayerController.Instance.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        if (rb != null)
        {
            rb.velocity = Vector2.zero;
        }

        print("Respawn calling UIManager");
        UIManager.Instance.StartDeactivateDeathScreenCoroutine();
        print("Called UI");
        PlayerController.Instance.Respawned();
    }

From the video, we can say that the code is working as intended when respawning. There are no errors that show that the code was unable to find the death screen nor turn it off.

So, could you check that both the Death text and respawn button is attached to the death screen as children?

It’s a possibility that the reason they are on the screen is because they are not attached to the deathscreen as a child. One way you can also check this is by seeing if you can press the respawn button despite the player not having died yet.

---

Aside from that, you take a concerning amount of time to revive in the first place, considering the death screen is supposed to fade in by around 2 seconds after you die rather than that 6-7 seconds it took.

In any case, can you show your Canvas’ Hierarchy and check that it’s parented like this?

I checked my hierarchy as mentioned and I had made death screen the child of scene fader I fixed it,like the hierarchy you provided and the death screen no longer remains on the screen all the time but now when the player dies I just get a black screen no death screen(with respawn button appears)

What you want to do is to make “Death Screen” a child of “Canvas”, not a prefab on it’s own.

Then, disable the “Death Screen” that you placed into the “Canvas”, only the “Death Screen” itself and not the children.

---

Finally, make sure you add “Death Screen” into your UIManager.cs in the “Canvas” inspector.

I added “Death Screen” to the Canvas,but I dont know how to disable only “Death Screen” and not its children whenever parent is disabled whole prefab is disabled. could you tell me the step for that

I have already added “Death Screen” into UIManager.cs in the “Canvas” inspector.

I made the changes and disabled the parent and kept children active, yet a black screen appears after the player death and no death screen appears

As a tip, since you know that your death screen doesn’t appear, always leave the canvas hierarchy open in the scene when testing to know whether it’s active or not.

As for Deactivating “Death Screen”, you just need to uncheck the box next to the name of the “Death Screen”, but leave the children of it checked.

---

Next, i think the reason it’s not appearing may be that we’ve put the “Death Screen” above the “SceneFader” in the Canvas Hierarchy. [Putting above the hierarchy means it’ll appear below the “Scenefader” in the game.]

So try putting the Death Screen here:

Directly below the “SceneFader” [Not as a child] While inside the Canvas.

Can you try, adding the “Death Screen” to the Prefab of the Canvas, then reapplying the death screen that’s in the canvas to the UIManager of said prefab?

I think there’s a possibility that the “Death Screen” in the UI Manager is a “Death Screen” prefab, and not the “Death Screen itself.

---

Next can you also test something by manually activating the Death Screen to see if it’s functional when activated.

---

Can you also put up the print logs in my initial comment before to see if everything is working as intended?

The death screen arrives a bit late for my liking,which setting do I have to change to decrease the time?

Could you check something? Can you go to your SceneFader game object, the one with the SceneFader script on it, and check what the FadeTime is set to?
