Fixing a BCE0051 error

[system]

Oi guys. I'm trying to add a section to the script that does the character animation that'll change the idle when the player's health is below a certain point:

var runAnimationSpeedModifier = .7;

var playerHealth : GameObject;

playerHealth = GameObject.Find("playerHealth");

var playerIdleQuotient = playerHealth * 0.25;

function Start () {
    var run = animation["run"];
    run.speed *= runAnimationSpeedModifier;

}

function Update () {

    if (playerHealth > playerIdleQuotient) {

        if (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") != 0)
            animation.CrossFade ("run");
        else
            animation.CrossFade ("idle");

    }
    else {
        if (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") != 0)
            animation.CrossFade ("run");
        else
            animation.CrossFade ("idle_injured");
    }
} 

Upon saving this code, Unity gives me a BCE0051 error: "Assets/Scripts/Character Controls/CharacterAnimation.js(7,39): BCE0051: Operator '*' cannot be used with a left hand side of type 'UnityEngine.GameObject' and a right hand side of type 'float'."

I've never done any programming before, so I don't understand this at all. What's wrong?

I think its upset that you are trying to multiply a gameobject by a floating point number... you can't do that.

var playerIdleQuotient = playerHealth * 0.25;

You need it to be something like var playerIdleQuotient = GameObject.playerHealth * 0.25; where playerHealth is some number attached to the game object...
