Time for action – add facial explosions

Just as we did when our falling object hit the ground, we'll use the Instantiate command to make a copy of a Prefab appear in the game world. This time around, when we determine that the player has been hit in the face by a bomb, we'll instantiate the Explosion Prefab on top of his head.

1. Add the following line to the top of the code:

   var lastX:float;
   var isMoving:boolean = false;
   var explosion:GameObject;
   

2. Later on, in the conditional statement that determines when the player is hit by a bomb, add the Instantiate command:

   if(col.gameObject.CompareTag("bomb")) { // I got hit by a bomb! Instantiate(explosion, col.gameObject.transform.position,Quaternion.identity); } else if (col.gameObject..CompareTag("stein")) ...
