When life = 0, display message?

Tuckertcs

When the $health variable equals 0 I want it to go to another passage saying you died or something.  How do I do that?

You would put this at the end of all your passages (or at least the ones where you can die.:

<<if $health eq "0">>
<<goto "Death">>
<<endif>>

In order for the <<goto>> to work you must make a new script passage and paste this into it:

version.extensions.timedgotoMacro={major:1,minor:2,revision:0};
macros["goto"]=macros.timedgoto={timer:null,handler:function(a,b,c,d){function cssTimeUnit(s){if(typeof s=="string"){if(s.slice(-2).toLowerCase()=="ms"){return +(s.slice(0,-2))||0
}else{if(s.slice(-1).toLowerCase()=="s"){return +(s.slice(0,-1))*1000||0
}}}throwError(a,s+" isn't a CSS time unit");return 0}var t,d,m,s;
t=c[c.length-1];d=d.fullArgs();m=0;if(b!="goto"){d=d.slice(0,d.lastIndexOf(t));
m=cssTimeUnit(t)}d=eval(Wikifier.parse(d));if(d+""&&state&&state.init){if(macros["goto"].timer){clearTimeout(macros["goto"].timer)
}s=state.history[0].passage.title;macros["goto"].timer=setTimeout(function(){if(state.history[0].passage.title==s){state.display(d,a)
}},m)}}};

"Death" can be replaced with whatever your death screen passage is called.

If you don't need to literally "go to another Passage" you can accomplish what you need without needing to add a script, just using built-in Twine functionality, by displaying the text of another passage inside your current passage. Just use the "display" macro:

<<if $health eq "0">>
<<display "Death">>
<<endif>>

.. and (adding to loopernow's response) you might want to display "death" instead of the rest of the passage- so start each passage with:
<<if $health eq "0">>
<<display "Death">>
<<else>>

(insert the rest of your passage here)
