How to trigger a script in another game object

Questions & Answers
1

Hallo good people I'm new to Unity and Java but I'm trying hard :P I want my platform (MovingPlatform1) with attached script named "PlatformMoverY" to be trigged - collision with the trigger should change var "isMoving" to true. Script "PlatformMoverY" works perfectly, I manualy switch "isMoving" to true or false and it's OK. Here is script for the trigger, I don't know what's wrong

var movingPlatform : GameObject;

function Start(){
          movingPlatform = GameObject.Find("MovingPlatform1");
}

function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) {
    var PlatformMoverY : ScriptName = gameObject.GetComponent(ScriptName);
    if(other.gameObject.CompareTag("Player")){
        PlatformMoverY.isMoving = true;
    }
}

I'm siting on it an hour and I got" BCE0018: The name 'ScriptName' does not denote a valid type ('not found'). Did you mean 'UnityEditor.ScriptableWizard'?" Help please :)))

Why did you try ScriptName if you don't have a script called that? I'm assuming you copied and pasted from a general example. You should have read a basic tutorial on JavaScript before attempting this, to find out what it means when you put something after the colon after a variable declaration. Also, JavaScript is not Java.

var platformMoverY : PlatformMoverY;

function Start() {
    platformMoverY = GameObject.Find("MovingPlatform1").GetComponent.<PlatformMoverY>();
}

function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) {
    if (other.CompareTag("Player")) platformMoverY.isMoving = true;
}
