need some help on this java script.

so i know nothing about java. i have just been following this intro tutorial for unity: link. there is a part where you have to make a script for a turret to shoot at you character. here's mine:

var LookAtTarget: Transform;

var damp = 6.0; var bullitPrefab: Transform; var savedTime=0;

function Update () { if(LookAtTarget) { var Rotate = Quaternion.LookRotation(LookAtTarget.position - transform.position);

    transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, Rotate, Time.deltaTime * damp);

    var seconds : int = Time.time;
    var oddeven = (seconds % 2);

    if(oddeven)
{
    Shoot(seconds);
}

}
//transform.LookAt(LookAtTarget);

}

function Shoot(seconds) {

if(seconds)

{
    var bullit = Instantiate(bullitPrefab, transform.Find("Turret Spawn").transform.position,
                                    Quaternion.identity);

    bullit.rigidbdy.AddForce(transform.forward * 2000);

    savedTime=seconds;
}

}

then, i get this error:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Boo.Lang.Runtime.RuntimeServices.Dispatch (System.Object target, System.String cacheKeyName, System.Type[] cacheKeyTypes, System.Object[] args, Boo.Lang.Runtime.DynamicDispatching.DispatcherFactory factory) Boo.Lang.Runtime.RuntimeServices.Dispatch (System.Object target, System.String cacheKeyName, System.Object[] args, Boo.Lang.Runtime.DynamicDispatching.DispatcherFactory factory) Boo.Lang.Runtime.RuntimeServices.Invoke (System.Object target, System.String name, System.Object[] args) UnityScript.Lang.UnityRuntimeServices.Invoke (System.Object target, System.String name, System.Object[] args, System.Type scriptBaseType)

if you saw the tutorial, the problem this creates is that the turret still just shoots out a spray every 1 second, rather than a single fireball every few seconds. thanks!

Hey here is mine, check it out:

    var LookAtTarget:Transform;
var damp = 6.0;
var bullitPrefab:Transform;
var savedTime=0;

function Update () 
{
    //Slower turret

    if(LookAtTarget)
{
    var rotate = Quaternion.LookRotation(LookAtTarget.position - transform.position);

    transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation,rotate,Time.deltaTime * damp);

    var seconds: int = Time.time;
    var oddeven = (seconds % 2);

    if(oddeven)
    {

       Shoot(seconds);

       } 
      }
     }

    //EnemyShoot

    function Shoot(seconds)
    {

    if(seconds!=savedTime)
    {

            var bullit = Instantiate(bullitPrefab, transform.Find("spawnPoint").transform.position,Quaternion.identity);

        bullit.rigidbody.AddForce(transform.forward *5000);

        savedTime=seconds;
    }
}

Good Luck Drew.
