Hey guys, i’m trying and searching for more then a week to solve this problem. I simply can’t make my item affect my player. I’m using 1 script to the item and 1 to the stats of the player. But i can’t make it work. In this example i’m trying to use a painkiller, the Painkiller is tagged as Painkiller and it need to increae my health. These are the 2 scripts i’m working with:

Script in the playerstats:

/* Using the painkiller */
var painkillerhealth : boolean = false;
var painkillercur = 300;
  
function usepainkiller ()
{
	if (painkillerhealth == true)
	{
		Health += painkillercur; 
	}
}

Script in the inventory:

private var painkilleritem : PlayerStatsV2; //playerstatsv2 is the name of my player stats script.

[...]

function Start()
{
	painkilleritem = GameObject.Find("Player").GetComponent(PlayerStatsV2);
}

[...]

function UseEffect () 
{
	if ( gameObject.tag == "Painkiller")
	{
		painkilleritem.painkillerhealth = true;
	}
}

Can anyone please help me?? This is what i need to do so i can finally finish my game! =D
