I am having trouble getting a component of a GameObject.

Question

Every time i put var Player : GameObject; var Controls : component; function Start () { Player = GameObject.Find("Player"); Controls = Player.GetComponent("Controls"); }

the script is named Controls and it is on the Player GameObject. it will find the Player, but will not find the Controls Script.

I need it to change the Score the player has.

Wow, made a big beginner mistake. xD Controls was on Main Camera, not Player. xP

Controls = Player.GetComponent(Controls); as type, not a string, if that still doesn't work, then I'm personally lost ;) http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/GameObject.GetComponent.html
