        }
    }
}

trying to find the gameobject with
hatObject = GameObject.Find(“Cowboyenemy/CowboyRio_Unity/CowboyRIO_Hat”);

and trying to check if the gameobject is the hat with
if (target == hatObject)
{
Debug.Log(“Hit head!”);
target.takeDamage(headShotDamage);
}

And? The computer makes an odd squealing sound? Smoke comes out of the monitor?

You need to provide a clue but if it was me, I wouldn’t use Find but if I did I would check whether it actually found the hat and move on from there.

Did it ever work?

Remember the first rule of GameObject.Find():

Do not use GameObject.Find();

More information: https://starmanta.gitbooks.io/unitytipsredux/content/first-question.html

In general, DO NOT use Find-like or GetComponent/AddComponent-like methods unless there truly is no other way, eg, dynamic runtime discovery of arbitrary objects. These mechanisms are for extremely-advanced use ONLY.

If something is built into your scene or prefab, make a script and drag the reference(s) in. That will let you experience the highest rate of The Unity Way™ success of accessing things in your game.

“Stop playing ‘Where’s GameWaldo’ and drag it in already!”

Here’s why all this stuff is CRAZY code:
