AddComponent error

Scripting

So im using a points package i found on the asset store, BUT i have a issue. its setup all wierd…

heres what they give me,

var Point : float;
private var GetHitEffect : float;
private var targY : float;
private var PointPosition : Vector3;

var PointSkin : GUISkin;
var PointSkinShadow : GUISkin;

function Start() {
	Point = Point;
	PointPosition = transform.position + Vector3(-1,-10);
	targY = Screen.height /2;
}

function OnGUI() {
	var screenPos2 : Vector3 = Camera.main.camera.WorldToScreenPoint (PointPosition);
	GetHitEffect += Time.deltaTime*30;
	GUI.color = new Color (1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,1.0f - (GetHitEffect - 50) / 7);
	GUI.skin = PointSkinShadow;
	GUI.Label (Rect (screenPos2.x+8 , targY-2, 80, 70), "+" + Point.ToString());
	GUI.skin = PointSkin;
	GUI.Label (Rect (screenPos2.x+10 , targY, 120, 120), "+" + Point.ToString());
}

function Update() {
	targY -= Time.deltaTime*250;
}

along with this “Help” ducument

Hello,

function MonsterDied() {
	var PointScript = AddComponent("Point");
	PointScript.Point = 50;
}

When MonsterDied() function is triggered, 50 points will be seen on the object.

i have a point and click game that uses raycast and whatnot to collide with a cube and blow it up. joy simple stuff runs awesome. I cleaned up the initial code they gave me so it dosnt return random values annnd it works fine. returns a constant.

BUT
adding the function then calling
MonsterDied(); isnt working. heres the code im trying to implement it into,

//Enemy script

//Inspector variables
var numberOfClicks  : int		 = 1;
var respawnWaitTime : float 	 = 2.0;
var shapeColor		: Color[];
var explosion 		: Transform;
var enemyPoint		: int		 = 100;

//Private variables
private var storeClicks : int =0;


function MonsterDied() {
	var PointScript = AddComponent("Point");
	PointScript.Point = 50;
}


 
function Start()
{
	storeclicks = numberOfClicks;
	var startPosition = Vector3(Random.Range(-6,6),Random.Range(-4,4),0);
	
	transform.position = startPosition;
	RandomColor();
	
	
}

function Update () 
{
		
		if(numberOfClicks <=0)
			{	
				if (explosion)
				{
					MonsterDied();
					Instantiate(explosion, transform.position, transform.rotation);

				}
				
				
				var position = Vector3(Random.Range(-6,6),Random.Range(-4,4),0);
				RespawnWaitTime();
				transform.position = position;
				numberOfClicks = 1;
				
			}
		



}
	

function RespawnWaitTime()
{
	
	renderer.enabled = false;
	RandomColor();
	yield WaitForSeconds(respawnWaitTime);
	renderer.enabled = true;
}

function RandomColor()
{
	if(shapeColor.length >0)
	{
		var newColor = Random.Range(0,shapeColor.length);
		renderer.material.color = shapeColor[newColor];
	}
}

But no matter what i do or where i put it i always get the "Unknown Identifier: ‘AddComponent’. error.
i know this is something probably super simple but i’ve been digging through the API for 2 hours and i cant find a solution. i even tried switching it to GetComponent but alas no luck. any help guys?

AddComponent is a class of GameObject. So when you want to add a component, you need to use:

var PointScript = gameObject.AddComponent(Point);

Hope this will work!
