You have a semicolon at the end of line 7, so the Dead() function is outside of the operator and is called on the first update.

 function Update ()
 {
     if (Health <= 0)
         Dead();
 }

Also remember that if you're attaching another function or line of code to if(Health <= 0) then put curly brackets e.g. if(Health <= 0){ Death(); //LineofCode }

I have made the same misstake as you for some weeks ago

  function Update ()
     {
         if (Health <= 0) //You used semicolon, Make sure to use brackets in If statements
          {
           Dead();
          }
     }

okay thank you it does not disappear on game start now, how ever it does not lose health when clicked on, possibly something wrong with my melle system script?

 #pragma strict
 
 var Damage : int = 50;
 var Distance : float;
 var MaxDistance : float = 1.5;
 
 function Update ()
 {
     if (Input.GetButtonDown("file1"))
     
         var Hit : RaycastHit;
         if (Physics.Raycast (transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), Hit))
         
             Distance=Hit.distance;
             if (Distance < MaxDistance)
             
                 (
                 Hit.transform.SendMessage("ApplyDamage", Damage, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver)
                 );
 }

Curly brackets again.

While you can omit them in some cases, its only recommended for expert programmers.

Anything that needs to be included in the if should use curly brackets.
