Finding scripts on instantiated objects;

Thanks for your help!

I'm trying to figure out why I receive an error when I run this script, called "Character Destroyer". With this script, I'm trying to find the closest object with a "Ground Placard" tag, and switch the destroyit variable in that object if the user has just typed the key that matches the answer string in that object. My debugging efforts indicate that it's just not finding the closest object, however. Ideally, when the user pushes a key, this script should check to see if it matches the answer on the closest object. Here's the code and the error. Any help would be a life-saver, as I've got to turn in this project for school! Ew.

CODE:

private var target; var characterchecker;

function Update() { if(Input.anyKeyDown) { TestClosestPlacard(); } }

function TestClosestPlacard() { target = FindClosestPlacard; if(target != null) { characterchecker = target.GetComponent("Character Checker"); if(Input.GetKeyDown(characterchecker.answer)) { characterchecker.destroyit = true; } } }

// Find the name of the closest enemy function FindClosestPlacard () : GameObject { // Find all game objects with tag Enemy var gos : GameObject[]; gos = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Ground Placards"); var closest : GameObject; var distance = Mathf.Infinity; var position = transform.position; // Iterate through them and find the closest one for (var go : GameObject in gos)
{ var diff = (go.transform.position - position); var curDistance = diff.sqrMagnitude; if (curDistance < distance) { closest = go; distance = curDistance; } } return closest;
}
