Behavior Tree Help

Hi, I have a problem with behavior trees and I think I’m doing something horribly wrong and if so can someone point it out?

I followed the Simple AI tutorial and everything works. The behavior tree looks like this:

I tried modifying it adding a boolean for death, all of that seems to work and it triggers between true and false when i want it to, the problem is that it never goes down the left tree (agrocheck etc.) so the follow ai no longer works. if i set the death value to true then it does play the death animation. is there anything seemingly obvious that im doing wrong?
