Player wont be found on start

Questions & Answers
1

My current script is a script for a door collision. when the Distance reaches less then 1 the player is moved to a separate scene and to the spawn point in which is specified in the code. I am currently having problems with the player not being found and when i just assign the player manually the send message script does not find the its way to parent in which the second script is attached. The game object Trigger which the first code is attached to is the child of the Spawnpoint in which the Second script is attached. Thanks in advance

this is my code:

var Player : Transform;
var Inside : float = 1;

var GoingToSpawnPNT : int = 0;

var Dist : float;

function Start()
{
	Player = transform.Find("Player");
}

function Update()
{
	if (Player != null)
	{
		var dist : float = Vector3.Distance(Player.position, transform.position);
		Dist = dist;
	
		if (dist < Inside)
		{
    		Player = null;
    		transform.root.gameObject.SendMessage("Assign", GoingToSpawnPNT);
   		}
    }
}

This is my Second code

var CustomSpawnPoint : int;
static var Spawn : int;

var Level : String;

function Update()
{
	if (Spawn == CustomSpawnPoint)
	{
		Debug.Log("Spawned");
		Spawn = 0;
		//Create Character
	}
}

function Assign(SpawnNum : int)
{
	Spawn = SpawnNum;
	Application.LoadLevel(Level);
}

Well, I am a little confused on the hierarchy of your objects but my view would be to use a trigger instead of the first script and a reference to the script (I don’t really fancy SendMessage but it is personal):

var GoingToSpawnPNT:int = 0;
var obj:cube ;
function Start(){
obj = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player").GetComponent(cube);
}

function OnTriggerEnter(other:Collider){
    if(other.gameObject.tag=="Player")obj.Assign(GoingToSpawnPNT);

}
