It looks like you can only pass one object to the function using BroadcastMessage. Maybe use a Vector2 or array to pass the variables to ApplyDamage.

This isn’t pretty, but something like this should work:

    gameObject.BroadcastMessage ("ApplyDamage", Vector2(5.0, 90));
     
     
    function ApplyDamage (inputs : Vector2) {
        Debug.Log("Damage: " + inputs.x);
        print ("TimeToHeal: " + inputs.y);
    }

There may be another way. I tried using Vector2 it worked for me. Here’s a little test project I made: http://acceleroto.com/share/broadcast_test.zip

The BroadcastMessage is in GameController.js. The broadcast happens whenever you hit an arrow key.
