Help accessing a variable in a C# file from a JavaScript file~

Questions & Answers

Hey everyone. I know this question has been asked before, but I followed the guide all of the other similar questions lead to; and I can’t get it to work quite right. Here’s a link to the original guide for reference sake. http://www.41post.com/1935/programming/unity3d-js-cs-or-cs-js-access

Currently, this is my code:
var DamageObject : GameObject;
var csScript : vp_PlayerDamageHandler;

function Awake()
{
	//Get the CSharp Script
	csScript = DamageObject.GetComponent("vp_PlayerDamageHandler");
}
	
function OnGUI()
{
	GUI.Label(new Rect(10,30,500,20), csScript.isDead);
}

isDead is the boolean variable I want to access from the C# script vp_PlayerDamageHandler. The original code used this.Getcomponent, so figuring it would look in the object this script is on- I declared a DamageObject variable.

With the above code, I receive the following error: "The name ‘vp_PlayerDamageHandler’ does not denote a valid type (‘not found’).
"

Thanks for anyone who can help, it’s greatly appreciated as always.

Assuming the item is called vp_PlayerDamageHandler in the inspector, all you need to do is lose the quotes. Or to be even more accurate:

var csScript = DamageObject.GetComponent(vp_PlayerDamageHandler);

There’s a last resource that can be used to communicate among scripts written in different languages and in any order: SendMessage. This method calls a function by name in the target object, thus no unknown type errors occur. Only a single argument may be passed to the function, but with some smart tricks one can send and even receive more complex data - take a look at this question for more details.
