I have the code if (snowman.EnemyHealth.dead == true) and it gives me the error

What is “snowman”? Sounds like you declared it wrong.

3

its var snowman = Transform;

4

Your trying to access the enemyhealth var of transform then, which does not exist. You probably want to use getcomponent to get whatever script you declared that var in.

5

that didnt work either

6

You’ll need to show us more of the script then.

ok, here it is:

var snowman = Transform;
var sphere = boolean;

function Update () {
	if (snowman.GetComponent(EnemyHealth).dead == true) {
		gameObject.AddComponent("Rigidbody");
		
		if (sphere == true) {
			gameObject.AddComponent("Sphere Collider");
		}
		
		else if (sphere == false) {
			gameObject.AddComponent("Capsule Collider");
		}
	}
}
8

So EnemyHealth is a script, that has a var dead : boolean, right? Can you show that script too?

9 
var health = 1.0;
var hitsound : AudioClip;
var number = 10.0;
var spheres : GameObject[];
var cylinders : GameObject[];
var dead = false;

function ApplyDamage (damage : float) {
	health -= damage;
	
	SendMessage("CheckHealth");
}

function CheckHealth () {
	if (health <= 0) {
		dead = true;
		
		if (hitsound)
			AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(hitsound, transform.position);	
	}
}

function OnGUI () {
	GUI.Box (Rect (10,number,150,30), "Enemy health " + (health));
}

I dunno man, I just tested your code and it worked for me. Did you forget to drag the snowman gameobject to “var snowman = Transform;” in the inspector?

11

I cant, because its giving me an error

12

What error?

13

that one

You aren’t declaring your variables properly. You have:

var snowman = Transform;
var sphere = boolean;

Which is just attaching the TYPE itself (the type “Boolean”, or the type “Transform”). I think instead you wanted these to be OF that type and have some instance of that type assigned to it:

var snowman : Transform;
var sphere : boolean;

EDIT: In other words, what you’ve done is assigned to “snowman” an instance of System.Type (Type Class (System) | Microsoft Learn) that represents the Transform type. This is a specialized object that lets you gather information about Transforms in general (for example, it can give you a list of all the functions that Transforms have)

aw, damn. I keep on doing that!!! thanks, I keep on forgetting about that.

Switch to C#. Type your variables properly. And post code examples when asking for help.
