Custom Character Error

[MeasaMin]

I have my custom character in and the animation are working but I am having problems with the fact that the character has no health. The HUD is there but the health is at zero, and of course the character has not died. Below is my code.

class CustomPawn extends UDKPawn;

var int RegenPerSecond;
var float ElapsedTime;
var float DamageTime;

simulated event PostBeginPlay()
{
	super.PostBeginPlay();
	
	//print to show code is working
	`Log("USING CUSTOM PAWN CALLED CustomPawn.");
	
	//set the timer for 1 second
	SetTimer(1.0,true);
	
}


function Timer ()
{
	//if the pawn is in the water regenerate health
	if(PhysicsVolume.bRegenVolume == true)
	{
		if (Controller.IsA('PlayerController') && !IsInPain() && Health<HealthMax)
		{
			Health = Min(Health+RegenPerSecond, HealthMax);
		}
	}
}


DefaultProperties
{
	//breathing time
	UnderWaterTime=+00000.000000
	//set the variables
	RegenPerSecond = 2
	//set defaults for regeneration properties
	DamageTime=1
	

	Begin Object class=SkeletalMeshComponent Name=PlayerSkeletalMeshComponent

		HiddenGame=false
		HiddenEditor=false
	End Object
	Mesh=PlayerSkeletalMeshComponent
	Components.Add(PlayerSkeletalMeshComponent)
	
}

Also when I type in behind view nothing happens as if the character is not being recognised. The logs has not shown up any errors. Also when i point the camera at any surface it pops back displaying the character floating some distance away. Any help would be appreciated.
