If you are trying to locate a variable in another script you simple call the variable name. something like...

var thisInt : int = GameObject.Find(targetObject).GetComponent(targetScript).intVariableName;

by inVariableName, do you mean that entirely as the name, or do you literally put INT+WhateverName?

 var theGameObject : GameObject = GameObject.Find(targetObject);
 var theComponent : TargetScript = theGameObject.GetComponent( TargetScript );
 var theVarThatIsAnInt : int = theComponent.theVariableOnTargetScriptThatIsAnInt;

@alucardj possible to do it as a one liner?

EDIT:Not one line, but this works. For some reason it doesnt like to be defined as int in the same line.

var newIntVar : int;

newIntVar = GameObject.Find(theobject).GetComponent(thecomponent).oldIntVar;

which was how I was doing in the script already but wanted as one line.
