[Xdy]

Error on ‘controlsEnabled’

function Start () {
	Player = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player"); 		
	mainCamera = GameObject.FindWithTag("MainCamera");
	weaponCamera = GameObject.FindWithTag("WeaponCamera"); 
	vehicleCam.camera.enabled = false;
	vehicle.GetComponent(VehicleControllScript).controlsEnabled = false;
	vehicleCam.GetComponent(AudioListener).enabled = false;

Incorrect (Previous Answer)

GetComponent(type) or GetComponent(string) will return Component, you will need to cast it to do type-specific operation; in your case, setting the bool of a script:

Correction

GetComponent(string) will return Component, you will need to cast it to do type-specific operation; in your case, setting the bool of a script (Assume that it is named XYZ.js):

( vehicle.GetComponent("XYZ") as XYZ).controlsEnabled = false;

Or you can use GetComponent(type):

vehicle.GetComponent(XYZ).controlsEnabled = false;

Another alternative is to use the generic GetComponent():

uJS

vehicle.GetComponent.<XYZ>().controlsEnabled = false;

C#

vehicle.GetComponent<XYZ>().controlsEnabled = false;

How to use the GetComponent (Example)

What will happen when I do this or that?

UnityScript/uJS

You should not run the DataCheck.js as it is, you need to comment out everything but the line/snippet that you are interested in

Data.js

#pragma strict

public var data : int = 1;

DataCheck.js

#pragma strict

var gameObjectWithData : GameObject;

function Start () {
	
/* ====== Anonymous Variable/One-liner ====== */
	
	/* +++++++++ GetComponent( type : string ) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ */
	
	/* - Compile error: data is not member of Component - */
	gameObjectWithData.GetComponent("Data").data = 9;
	
	/* - Okay - */ 
	(gameObjectWithData.GetComponent("Data") as Data).data = 9;
	
	/* +++++++++ GetComponent( type : Type ) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ */
	
	/* - Okay - */ 
	gameObjectWithData.GetComponent(Data).data = 9;
	
	
	/* +++++++++ GetComponent<T>() +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ */
	
	/* - Okay - */ 
	gameObjectWithData.GetComponent.<Data>().data = 9;
	
/* ====== Assignment ====== */
	
	/* +++++++++ GetComponent( type : string ) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ */
	
	/* - x is considered a component, so this line is still okay - */
	var x = gameObjectWithData.GetComponent("Data");
	/* - Not okay, Compile error: data is not member of Component - */
	x.data = 9;
	
	/* - Warning: Implicit downcast from Component to Data - */
	var x : Data = gameObjectWithData.GetComponent("Data");
	x.data = 9;
	
	/* - Okay - */ 
	var x : Data = gameObjectWithData.GetComponent("Data") as Data;
	x.data = 9;
	
	
	/* +++++++++ GetComponent( type : Type ) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ */
	
	/* - Okay - */ 
	var x  = gameObjectWithData.GetComponent(Data);
	x.data = 9;
	
	/* - Okay - */ 
	var x : Data = gameObjectWithData.GetComponent(Data);
	x.data = 9;
	
	/* +++++++++ GetComponent<T>() +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ */
	
	/* - Okay - */ 
	var x = gameObjectWithData.GetComponent.<Data>();
	x.data = 9;
	
	/* - Okay - */
