Step 20: Save and return to Unity. Fix syntax.
Step 21: Attach this new DamagePlayerScript to the Trigger-WaterKiller
GameObject in the Hierarchy.
Step 22: Select Trigger-WaterKiller and in the Inspector under the
Damage Player Script component, define the Damage Amount as 10 .
Step 23: Test and play. Jump in the water and stay there. Watch the Health

Step 24: Save Scene-EntryWay.
Step 25: Open Scene-Hallway.
Step 26: Deactivate Hallway_Unbaked and activate Hallway_BakedGroup.

with the concepts we're exploring this little annoyance is necessary to
allow ideas to build upon each other.
Step 27: Create a new trigger that fits into the area between all the stairs
( Figure 17.8 ). This needs to be very accurate because if it's too big the
player will hit it running down the stairs and die, but if it's too small, he
might be able to fall all the way to the ground without hitting the trigger.
Name the trigger Trigger-FallDeath .
Figure 17.8 Trigger-FallDeath.
Why?
There are different ways to handle a character falling to his death. Some
are more interesting than this one and can include timing how long a
character is not grounded and is falling. Others simply measure how far a
