Control camera target from another scripts

Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
I’ve been looking at other scripts and I swear this should work but it doesn’t:

var target_ball : Rigidbody;
static var game_state : int = 2;

function Awake()
{
   DontDestroyOnLoad (transform.gameObject);
}

function OnGUI()
{
  switch(game_state)
  {
    case 2: // SET THROW
    if(!gameObject.Find("Ball"))
    {
      var target = Instantiate(target_ball, Vector3(10, 5.2, 3.75), Quaternion.identity);
      target.name = "Ball";
      GameObject.Find("Main Camera").GetComponent("SmoothLookAt").target = target;
    }
  }
}

The camera has SmoothLookAt.js with var target : Transform;

The error reads: BCE0019: ‘target’ is not a member of ‘UnityEngine.Component’.

How do I change the target of the camera from this script?

Use

var lookAtScript: SmoothLookAt = GameObject.Find("Main Camera").GetComponent("SmoothLookAt");
lookAtScript.target = target;

insead of

GameObject.Find("Main Camera").GetComponent("SmoothLookAt").target = target;
