Player is Clone after death

[tel]

Maybe I am missing something here (I usually am)

After death and respawn, the Player is now a clone, so that when it comes back the colliders that have, for example

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)

   {

       if (other.transform == player)

do not work anymore.
I can see ways around this, but what is the best solution.

You should compare the tag instead of the transform

if(other.gameObject.CompareTag("Player"))

Thanks, but that is not much help when I am doing CanSeePlayer(), which relies on being able to find the player quickly, because it is called often.
public bool CanSeePlayer()
   {
       Vector3 playerDirection = (player.position - character.position);
       
       RaycastHit hit;
       Physics.Raycast(character.position+new Vector3(0,0.5f,0), playerDirection, out hit, playerDirection.magnitude/*,LayerMask.NameToLayer("Player")*/);
     
       etc, etc.I guess that after spawning, I would like an event that the "new' character has been created, so that I could reset the player reference.

The answer, which I found after some searching, is to take advantage of the fact that vGameController updates a currentPlayer field, so you can use

vGameController.instance.currentPlayer.transform.position
This gets set when the Player starts, and reset when the clone has been instantiated.
