I get this error: Assets/Scripts/AxeAttack.js(41,35): BCE0019: ‘transform’ is not a member of ‘Object’

in this script:

#pragma strict
private var isAttacking : boolean = true;
private var attackCoolDown = 0.0;
var damage = 50;
var range = 5;
private var mainCamera;
function Start () {
	isAttacking = false;
	mainCamera = GameObject.FindWithTag("MainCamera");
}

function Update () {
	if(isAttacking)
		{
			attackCoolDown += Time.deltaTime;
		
	if(attackCoolDown >= 2)
		{
			isAttacking = false;
			attackCoolDown = 0.0;
		}
	}
	if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) && isAttacking == false)
		{	
			Attack();
		}
	if(isAttacking == false)
		{
			this.gameObject.animation["idle_cube"].wrapMode = WrapMode.Loop;
			this.gameObject.animation.CrossFade("idle_cube");
		}
}
function Attack ()
{	
	this.gameObject.animation.CrossFade("attack_cube");
	isAttacking = true;
	attackCoolDown = 1;
	var direction = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward); 
	var hit : RaycastHit;
	
	Debug.DrawLine(mainCamera.transform.position,direction*range,Color.red);
	
	
	if (Physics.Raycast (mainCamera.transform.position, direction, hit, range));
	{
		if(hit.transform.tag == "Enemy")
		{
		
			hit.collider.SendMessageUpwards("ApplyDamage", damage, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
		}
	}

	
}

I am pretty new to UnityScript, sorry x)

If you don’t specify a type for a variable, UnityScript will try to guess a type using whatever information you provided in the variable declaration.

In this case, no such information is available, so it’s guessing the most general type: “Object”

var someVariable;          //type "Object"
var someVariable1 = 5;     //type "int"
var someVariable2 = "foo"; //type "String"

You can specify a type to be more specific:

var mainCamera : GameObject;
