Hi.
There are different ways to achieve this and is depending on your setup.

You could set up a 'game manager' fsm. where you can set the game flow.

From the player fsm, when he dies, you can send an event to the 'game manager' that he died.

Then from the game mangaer you could pop up a menu with a restart button.

Then when player presses restart you can use for example a "Set Fsm Int" and set the player health back to 3

Untouchable also depend on your setup.

For example you can make a bool and call it "untouchable" then for the time that he can't get hit, set the bool to true. (you can do this from a different fsm by using "Set Fsm Bool")

When the player gets hit you should do a bool tests first an see if 'untouchable' is true or false.

if true, no damage if false do damage.

When he is talking about the "Game Manager" he is referring to just an empty game object in the scene.  You can create one and name it Game Manager (Or whatever you like) and throw an FSM on it.

Using the Send Event action, you can communicate between the player character and this manager.  Doing this for example you can then use the player to track its current health.  Once it drops below zero, it will then "Sent Event" "Death" to the game manger.  Now the game manager kicks in and does whatever you want to happen when they die while the player character does whatever you want as well.

This is all VERY depending on your set up but that can be a good start.

Let me know if you need more help/explaining.
