Register collision between two specific game objects, using var (not tags or names).

[monocular]

Hello, this is probably redundancy overload but I'm such a noob that'll ask you to bear with me....

What I have is this:

 private var beenHit:boolean = false;
    private var timer:float = 0.0;

    static var targetHit = 0;

    var targetRoot:GameObject; 
    var NPC:GameObject;
    var hitSound:AudioClip;
    var resetSound:AudioClip;

    function OnCollisionEnter(theObject:Collision) {
    print("Animate Object Hit1");
        if(beenHit == false && theObject.GameObject.name == "Kenny") {
            targetRoot.animation.Play("animate");
            beenHit = true; 
        }
    }
    function Update () {

    if(beenHit) {
        timer += Time.deltaTime;
    }
    if(timer > 3) {
        print("Target Timer");
        targetRoot.animation.Play("idle");
        beenHit = false;
        timer = 0.0;
    }
}

And what I would like is to, rather than detecting "Kenny" it will detect the var NPC. This may be super simple but I'm not seeing it so... help?

Thanks!

theObject.GameObject.name == NPC.name
