//Checking player wood
var getPlayerWood : GetWoodScript;

//Buildings
var CubeBuild : int = 10;

//var move : float = 5;

function Update ()
{
	if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.B))
	{
		getPlayerWood = gameObject.FindWithTag("Player").GetComponent(GetWoodScript);
		if(getPlayerWood.playerWood == CubeBuild)
		{
			if(objectInHands == false)
			{
		  		build = Instantiate(build, transform.position + transform.forward * 4.0 , transform.rotation);
		  		build.rigidbody.isKinematic = true;
		  		build.transform.parent = Camera.main.transform;
		  		objectInHands = true;
		  		//getPlayerWood.playerWood -= CubeBuild;
		  	}
		  	else {
		  		print("You have Cube in your hands");
			}
		}
		else if(getPlayerWood.playerWood != CubeBuild)
		{
			print("You can't create it now !");
		}
	}
}

“You can’t create it now !” all the time ;/ I dont know why, code is good because if i add this

if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.R))
{
	getPlayerWood = gameObject.FindWithTag("Player").GetComponent(GetWoodScript);
	print("You have " + getPlayerWood.playerWood + " wood");
}

it works ! ;/
it looks like it haven’t read var from another script ;/

You are aware that your script ONLY lets you build a cube if you have exactly the amount of wood required (in your case 10). So if you have 11, 12 or more it won’t, because you ask if the number of wood is equal to the amount.

This is just a guess, but maybe changing the statement to

if(getPlayerWood.playerWood >= CubeBuild)

will already do the trick. Also remove the “if” from the else part, it is useless.
