i have a ai script but i cannot assign the target variable. i dont know whats wrong could someone tell me please? here is the code

var IsPlayingOtherAnim = false;
var Distance;
var Player : GameObject;
var lookAtDistance = 25.0;
var ChaseRange = 15.0;
var attackRange = 1.5;
var moveSpeed = 5.0;
var Damping = 6.0;
var AttackRepeatTime = 1;
static var TheDamage = 10;

private var attackTime : float;
 
var controller : CharacterController;
var Gravity : float = 20;
private var MoveDirection : Vector3 = Vector3.zero;




function start () 
{
    attackTime = Time.time;
    Player = GameObject.Find("Player");
    
}

function Update ()
{
       
  

	Distance = Vector3.Distance(Player.position, transform.position);
	
	if (Distance < lookAtDistance)
	{
		lookAt();
	}
	
	if (Distance > lookAtDistance)
	{
		renderer.material.color = Color.green;
	}
	
	if (Distance < attackRange) 
	{
	    Attack();
	}
	
	else if (Distance < ChaseRange)
	{
		Chase ();
	}
}

function lookAt ()
{
    
    
    renderer.material.color = Color.yellow;
	var rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Player.position - transform.position);
	transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, rotation, Time.deltaTime * Damping);
}

function Chase ()
{
    
    
    renderer.material.color = Color.red;
    
	moveDirection = transform.forward;
	moveDirection *= moveSpeed;
	
	moveDirection.y -= Gravity * Time.deltaTime;
	controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
	
}

function Attack ()

{
    if (Time.time > attackTime) 
    {
    
    Player.SendMessage("ApplyDammage", TheDamage, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
    Debug.Log ("the enemy has attacked");
    attackTime = Time.time + AttackRepeatTime;
    
    }    
}

function ApplyDamage ()
{
    ChaseRange = 30;
    moveSpeed = 4;
    lookAtDistance = 40;
}

Did you notice that the function “Start” is called “start”? Unity will not read the Start function because of the low case letter. And it’s in that function where the variable Player is assigned to a value.

Make sure the player in your scene is in fact named “Player”
