Changing a var from a different script

Questions & Answers
1

Info… Ok I know this has been asked lots before but I have been through many answers and can still can not wrap my head around it. I have a Gameobject called MAP and a script attached to it called Start.

This is the Start script…

var SpawnPoint = Vector3(50,234.5,391.1545);

var Block : Transform;

var BlockAmount : int = 0;


function Update () 
{
	//Spawning of the first block
	if (BlockAmount == 0)
	{
		Instantiate (Block, SpawnPoint, Quaternion.identity);
		BlockAmount ++;
	}
}

Question… Why does this script on my player not change the BlockAmount Var in the Start script?

This is my PlayerScript

var BlockAmount1 : GameObject;

function Start()
{
	BlockAmount1 = GameObject.Find("MAP");
}


function Update () 
{

		//When its grounded
		if(transform.position.y <= 25) 
		{

			BlockAmount1.GetComponent(Start).BlockAmount = 0;
		
		}
		
		
}

I have seen people change variables from different scripts using GetCompnent but I never do this. Use this example its pretty easy

firstScript.js

static var BlockAmount : int = 0;

secondScript.js

funciton Update(){
firstScript.BlockAmount = 10;
}

basically u call it a static var in the original script and then type scriptname.variablename then just use it normally and it will work.
