I am new to game development and Godot. The code is gathered from multiple tutorials and now i am stuck. It almost seems to work but my problem is the respawn mechanism. When the player is respawned, somehow he immediately gets repositioned to the last position. Maybe someone can have a look at my code.

The respawn-code is in the function take_damage but the player always get back to its previous position after respawn. Can you help me to find the problem please that would be very nice.
