 public class Weapon : $$anonymous$$onobehaviour
 {
    // Can be accesed from other scripts.
     public float damage = 10.0f;
 }
 
 public class Projectile : $$anonymous$$onobehaviour
 {
    private Weapon weapon;
    
    //public float projectileDamage = 10;
 
    private void Awake()
    {
        // Get the weapon however you see fit.
        weapon = FindObjectOfType<Weapon>();
    }
 
    //Assume getting called from OnTrigger.
    public void ApplyDamage(EnemyHealth health)
    {
        //If damage is a property of the weapon.
         health.TakeDamage(weapon.damage);
         
         // Or if damage is a property of the projectile.
         //health.TakeDamage(projectileDamage);
    }

Maybe move your Destroy(gameObject) call to the end of the OnTriggerEnter, or maybe put it right below the call to TakeDamage.

What is currently happening? Is your log from the OnTriggerEnter happening (is it actually going in the OnTriggerEnter). Can you add a log inside the if statement to see if it is actually entering the if statement.

I'm trying to get damage and a bool(hasCollided) from another script. If I change monoBehaviour to weapon it works but I can't use getcomponent or properties.
