Why doesn't "my" capture the flag code work? the flag falls down.

im working on a capture the flag game, and when a player with dies, the flag is supposed to stay there for another player to pick up, but for some reason it falls through the ground instead. here's "my" code, it's taken from the capture the flag template, i did use a few slight edits, but i dont know why its broken.
