RPC Call to Another GameObject's Function?

Question

I'm attempting to use an RPC call to send damage information to the other player in a 2 player Network game. However, I'm a bit confused on how to get the "Receiver" to acknowledge the change:

 @RPC
 function GiveDamage(hitDamage : float)
 {
     Network.Instantiate(hitPrefab, Vector3(selectedEnemy.transform.position.x, 1.7, selectedEnemy.transform.position.z), Quaternion.identity, 0);
     networkView.RPC ("selectedEnemy.GetComponent(playerObject).TakeDamage", RPCMode.All, hitDamage);
     //selectedEnemy.GetComponent(playerObject).TakeDamage(hitDamage);
 }

The commented out line works on the local machine (and the damage is taken, etc), but on the other players machine, nothing changes. The networkView.RPC line is taken from the RPC instructions, but I think I'm confused how to specify the object that is to receive the instructions to run the function. (http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Components/net-RPCDetails.html)

Any ideas?

You can receive RPC calls to methods in any script which is a component of the GameObject that contains the NetworkView component.

Thus, you can spread your RPC methods over different scripts, as long as all of them have been attached as components to the same GameObject containing a NetworkView.
