code refernce on specific instance

Question

So I have some code (lets say codeA) referencing a static variable (var) in a separate code (codeB). CodeB is applied to multiple instances. CodeA changes var and then a function in codeB is started. My problem is that I want that function to happen only in whatever instance is being affected currently, but instead it starts the function on all the instances the code is applied to. CodeA:

 var attack: int = 20;
 var enemy: GameObject;
 var enemyHealth: EnemyHealth;
 function Awake ()
 {
     enemyHealth = GetComponent(EnemyHealth);
 }
 function OnTriggerEnter(obj: Collider)
 {
     if(obj.gameObject.GetComponent(EnemyHealth))
     {
         enemyHealth.currentHealth = enemyHealth.currentHealth - attack;
     }
     
 }

CodeB:

 var startingHealth: int = 100;
 static var currentHealth: int;
 var enemy: GameObject;
 
 private var onDeath: PlayerMovement;
 private var anim: Animator;
 
 function Awake()
 {
     onDeath = GetComponent(PlayerMovement);
     currentHealth = startingHealth;
     anim = GetComponentInParent(Animator);
 }
 
 function Update()
 {
     if(currentHealth <= 0)
     {
         anim.SetBool("EnemyDeath", true);
         Destroy(enemy, 2);
         onDeath.enemyDie = true;    
     }
 }

Now that you've said what you want:

1) Remove "static" word from line #2 in "CodeB" and make it public or internal:

 internal var currentHealth: int;

2) Then in your "CodeA":

  function OnTriggerEnter(obj: Collider)
  {
      var enH : EnemyHealth  = obj.gameObject.GetComponent(EnemyHealth);
      if(enH != null) enH.currentHealth -= attack;
  }
