Finish level and match player transform with end goal. Unity

Question

I've been at this for hours and have yet to come up with a solution. Once the player reaches the end goal I would like the player to match the end position and stop moving. ![alt text][1]

I looked into making the player a child of the end goal, but haven't been able to get anything working.

This is my script.

public float speed = 10;
    public float turnSpeed = 10;
    public float maxVelocityChange = 10;
    public float gravity = 10;
    public bool isAlive;
    public Text Score;
    public int CollectibleValue;

    //sounds
    private AudioSource source;
    public AudioClip Spark;



    private bool grounded;
    private Rigidbody _rigidbody;
    private Transform PlayerTransform;



    // Use this for initialization
    void Start () {

        StartLevel ();

        CollectibleValue = 0;

    }

    public void StartLevel(){

        PlayerTransform = GetComponent<Transform> ();
        _rigidbody = GetComponent<Rigidbody> ();
        _rigidbody.useGravity = false;
        _rigidbody.freezeRotation = true;


        isAlive = true;

        source = GetComponent<AudioSource> ();

    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void FixedUpdate () 
    {

        if (isAlive) {
            PlayerTransform.Rotate (0, (Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") * turnSpeed * Time.deltaTime), 0);

            Vector3 targetVelocity = new Vector3 (0, 0, speed * Time.deltaTime);
            targetVelocity = PlayerTransform.TransformDirection (targetVelocity);
            targetVelocity = targetVelocity * speed;

            Vector3 velocity = _rigidbody.velocity;
            Vector3 velocityChange = targetVelocity - velocity;
            velocityChange.x = Mathf.Clamp (velocityChange.x, -maxVelocityChange, maxVelocityChange);
            velocityChange.z = Mathf.Clamp (velocityChange.z, -maxVelocityChange, maxVelocityChange);
            velocityChange.y = 0;
            _rigidbody.AddForce (velocityChange, ForceMode.VelocityChange);


            _rigidbody.AddForce (new Vector3 (0, -gravity * _rigidbody.mass, 0));
        }   

        Score.text = CollectibleValue.ToString ();
    }





    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider Triggers) {

        if (Triggers.tag == "Endgoal") {

            isAlive = false;
                    // Here is where the player needs to stop and match the position of the end goal.

        }

After searching, I found what I thought to be the answer, I made a public variable for the targets Transform, and used this line of code.

  void OnTriggerEnter(Collider Triggers) {

        if (Triggers.tag == "Endgoal") {

            isAlive = false;
            PlayerTransform.transform.Translate (target.transform.position);

Problem now is, the player get's moved to a position that's not of the target and the player still moves forward. Also if the bool 'isAlive' is false, why is the forward movement still happening?

Translate moves the GameObject by the given vector, not to the given vector. See the documentation.

You can move a GameObject to a given position by setting its transform.position. In your case

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider Triggers) 
{
    if (Triggers.tag == "Endgoal") 
    {
        isAlive = false;
        PlayerTransform.transform.position = target.transform.position;
    }
}

Regarding the isAlive part of your question, you've already added forces/velocity to the object so even if you stop adding forces, it's still moving. When you want it to stop moving, set its velocity to zero.

_rigidbody.velocity = Vector3.zero;
_rigidbody.angularVelocity = Vector3.zero;
