Why does my script lose track of my character every time I hit play?

Question

I'm trying to make doors for my game but every time I hit play it losses track of my player. How do I fix this?

This is the script that i'm using:

 public string scene;
 public GameObject player;
 public Vector2 newPos;

 private void Start()
 {
     player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
 }

 private void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D collision)
 {
     if (Input.GetKeyDown("e"))
     {
         player.transform.position = newPos;
         SceneManager.LoadScene(scene);
         Debug.Log("Change");
     }
 }

}

So this script hasn't been able to find the player at all, or has it worked before? I haven't used GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag before but from reading the documentation I think it's meant to return an array of every GameObject with that tag. I'd strongly suggest (assuming you are only meant to have one player) using GameObject.FindWithTag instead and making sure only one GameObject has this tag. Try this:

  public string scene;
  public GameObject player;
  public Vector2 newPos;
  private void Start()
  {
      player = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player");
  }
  private void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D collision)
  {
      if (Input.GetKeyDown("e"))
      {
          player.transform.position = newPos;
          SceneManager.LoadScene(scene);
          Debug.Log("Change");
      }
  }
