Below is the Player.cs
function Player::onLevelLoaded(%this, %scenegraph)
{
//GLOBAL for player
$Player = %this;

//CONTROLS
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "right", "PlayerRight();", "PlayerRightStop();");
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "left", "PlayerLeft();", "PlayerLeftStop();");
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "space", "PlayerBoost();", "PlayerBoostStop();");

%this.lowerLife();
}

//MOVE, and STOP
function PlayerRight()
{
$Player.moveRight = true;
$Player.updateMovement();
}

function PlayerLeft()
{
$Player.moveLeft = true;
$Player.updateMovement();
}

function PlayerBoost()
{

if(%Player.dead)
return;


%flipX = $Player.getFlipX();

if(!%flipX)
{
%hSpeed = -$Player.hSpeed * 2;
$Player.playAnimation(PrinnyFly1);
} else
{
%hSpeed = $Player.hSpeed * 2;
$Player.playAnimation(PrinnyFly1);
}

$Player.setLinearVelocityX(%hSpeed);
}
//--------------------------------------
function PlayerLeftStop()
{
$Player.moveLeft = false;
$Player.playAnimation(PrinnyIdle1);
$Player.updateMovement();
}

function PlayerRightStop()
{
$Player.moveRight = false;
$Player.playAnimation(PrinnyIdle1);
$Player.updateMovement();
}

function PlayerBoostStop()
{
$Player.setLinearVelocityX(0);
$Player.playAnimation(PrinnyIdle1);
}

//-----UPDATE----
function Player::updateMovement(%this)
{

if(%this.dead)
{
setScenePause(true)
}

if(%this.moveLeft)
{
$Player.playAnimation(PrinnyWalk1);
$Player.setLinearVelocityX(-$Player.hSpeed);
$Player.setFlipX(false);
}

if(%this.moveRight)
{
$Player.playAnimation(PrinnyWalk1);
$Player.setLinearVelocityX($Player.hSpeed);
$Player.setFlipX(true);
}

if(!%this.moveLeft && !%this.moveRight)
{
%this.setLinearVelocityX(0);
}
}
//-----LIFE-----
function Player::modifyLife(%this, %dmg)
{

%this.life += %dmg;

if(%this.life > 100)
{
%this.life = 100;
}else if (%this.life < 0)
{
%this.life = 0;
}

if(%this.life <= 0)
{
%this.dead();
}
}

function Player::dead(%this)
{
%this.dead = true;
}

then the MINE.cs
function Mine::onLevelLoaded(%this, %scenegraph)
{
%this.startPosition = %this.getPositionY();
%this.setLinearVelocityY(getRandom(%this.minSpeed, %this.maxSpeed));
}

function Mine::onWorldLimit(%this, %mode, %limit)
{
if(%limit $= "bottom")
{
%this.spawn();
}
}

function Mine::spawn(%this)
{
%this.setPosition(getRandom(-50, 50), %this.startPosition);
%this.setLinearVelocityY(getRandom(%this.minSpeed, %this.maxSpeed));
}

function Mine::onCollision(%srcObj, %dstObj, %srcRef, %dstRef, %time, %normal, %contactCount, %contacts)
{
if(%dstObj.class $= "Player")
{
%srcObj.spawn();
%dstObj.modifyLife(%srcObj.lifeValue);
}
}

it wont kill me!!!

    If you put your code between "code" tags (click on the "MarkupLite is enabled"), it'll make this much easier to read.

    Just off the bat I have two things for you.

    You call a function called "lowerLife" that I don't see implemented anywhere. If you look at the console, you'll see error messages that will tell you when you have mistakes like this.

    Finally, you should just add echo-statements to your program to make sure that functions are being called. As a quick example:
    function Mine::onCollision(%srcObj, %dstObj, %srcRef, %dstRef, %time, %normal, %contactCount, %contacts)
{
  echo( "In Mine::onCollision" );
  echo( "  %dstObj.class = " @ %dstObj.class );
  echo( "  %srcObj.lifeValue = " @ %srcObj.lifeValue );
  if( %dstObj.class $= "Player" )
  {
    %srcObj.spawn();
    %dstObj.modifyLife( %srcObj.lifeValue );
  }
}

    This will tell you if the collision function is getting called and if the values are coming in as you expected.

    Well, a bit late for your deadline - but why delete the character at all? All you have to do is disable the character so it is not visible and does not interact with the rest of the scene, disable any player input actions, move it to the respawn position, and re-enable everything.

    You have to remember the player doesn't care if you delete your objects or simply disable them. You simply provide a believable illusion that they have died and need to be respawned according the rules of the world you've created.
