Unity2D: Player continues to move after he respawns - unity3d

Question

Okay to be basic, I have a 2d top down click to move game with a small problem. You see I created my player to have three heart lives and that after you get hit by an object you lose a heart, once you lose a heart the player automatically re-spawn back to where he started. however I'm having problems with player's movement, as mentioned before to move my player you have to click around (click to move). When I click to a place and I get hit by an object my player does go back to where it started off at (which is what I want) but after it reset back to where it was in the beginning, my player would continue to move until it get to the destination (which is not want I want)
This is my player movement's script:
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {
private Animator anim;
public float speed = 15f;
private Vector3 target;
public PlayerMovement playerMovementRef;
private bool touched;
void Start () {
target = transform.position;
anim = GetComponent<Animator> ();
}
void Update () {
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0)) {
Vector3 mousePosition = Input.mousePosition;
mousePosition.z = 10; // distance from the camera
target = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePosition);
target.z = transform.position.z;
}
transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target, speed * Time.deltaTime);
var movementDirection = (target - transform.position).normalized;
if (movementDirection.x != 0 || movementDirection.y != 0) {
anim.SetBool ("walking", false);
anim.SetFloat("SpeedX", movementDirection.x);
anim.SetFloat("SpeedY", movementDirection.y);
anim.SetBool ("walking", true);
}
}
void FixedUpdate () {
float LastInputX = transform.position.x - target.x;
float LastInputY = transform.position.y - target.y;
if (touched) {
if (LastInputX != 0 || LastInputY != 0) {
anim.SetBool ("walking", true);
if (LastInputX < 0) {
anim.SetFloat ("LastMoveX", 1f);
} else if (LastInputX > 0) {
anim.SetFloat ("LastMoveX", -1f);
} else {
anim.SetFloat ("LastMoveX", 0f);
}
if (LastInputY > 0) {
anim.SetFloat ("LastMoveY", 1f);
} else if (LastInputY < 0) {
anim.SetFloat ("LastMoveY", -1f);
} else {
anim.SetFloat ("LastMoveY", 0f);
}
}
}else{
touched = false;
anim.SetBool ("walking", false);
}
}
}
And this is my Player's health script (this script respawns my player back to where it started after he is hit by an object):
public class PlayerHealth : MonoBehaviour {
//Stats
public int curHealth;
public int maxHealth = 3;
Vector3 startPosition;
void Start ()
{
curHealth = maxHealth;
startPosition = transform.position;
}
void Update ()
{
if (curHealth > maxHealth) {
curHealth = maxHealth;
}
if (curHealth <= 0) {
Die ();
}
}
void Die ()
{
//Restart
Application.LoadLevel (Application.loadedLevel);
}
public void Damage(int dmg)
{
curHealth -= dmg;
Reset();
}
void Reset()
{
transform.position = startPosition;
}
}

Answer 1

So when you first click a location that the player walk towards,
Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0) is true, so inside of the if statement you set mousePosition with the following line:
Vector3 mousePosition = Input.mousePosition;
and then you set the target equal to that with
target = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePosition);
The problem is that outside of the if statement, but within the update method, you have
transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target, speed * Time.deltaTime);
Where the player's postition is continually changed to move towards the target. This is causing the problem because update() is constantly being called, even after you respawn, and if you don't assign the target a different value, your player will still move towards target, which was set before the player dies.
So put simply, target is only set once when you click a place to move, but your character always moves towards target, even after he respawns. Inside of the Start() method, write something like PlayerMovement.target = startPosition
Keep in mind target will either have to be public or have a public getter and setter in order to be able to access it from your health class.
