how use GetComponent ?

[djary]

hi all
i have 2 script

1. CaseDamage.js

var killStrikeCheck : boolean = false;
function Start ()
{
killStrikeCheck = false ;
}
function ApplyDamage (damage : float)
{
// We already have less than 0 hitpoints, maybe we got killed already?
if (hitPoints <= 0.0)
{
return;
}

hitPoints -= damage;

if (hitPoints <= 0.0)
{
killStrikeCheck = true;
}
}

and
2. KillStrikeCamera.js

#pragma strict
// this script attached to kill strike camera
function Start () {
gameObject.SetActive(false);
}

function Update ()
{

}

function KillStrikeCamera()
{
var check = CasE.GetComponent(CaseDamage).killStrikeCheck ;
if(check == true)
{
gameObject.SetActive(true);
}
//check == false ;
}

but give error
Assets/killstrike/scripts/killStrikeCamera.js(14,21): BCE0005: Unknown identifier: ‘CasE’.

CaseDamage attached to “CasE” Object

and KillStrikeCamera.js attached to ither camera

Your using a variable CasE which does not seem to exist. Try

* *GetComponent(CaseDamage).killStrikeCheck ;* *
instead of

* *CasE.GetComponent(CaseDamage).killStrikeCheck ;* *

yes worked !

but why sometime we should use gameobject.GetComponent(scriptname).Varibale
?

You should really study the basics and read some good guides. There is plenty of documentation out there to explain it.

GameObject go = GameObject.Find(“SomeGo”);
go.GetComponent().DoSomething();

will execute the function DoSomething in the script Something attatched to a GameObject called SomeGo.

gameObject.GetComponent().DoSomething();

will execute the function DoSomething in the script Something attached to the same GameObject as the script calling this.
