Variable not assigned, but is assigned. Help!

Ok so… I am working on a survival game and my character has a knife in his hand which does damage to an enemy, the thing is I got this script which is supposed to play the animation “Attacked” when clicking the left mouse button on the object “Melee” so once I put this script I get an error saying that the variable “Melee” has not been assigned. Here is the script:

#pragma strict

var TheDamage : int = 50;
var Distance : float;
var MaxDistance : float = 1.5;
var Melee : Transform;

function Update ()
{   
    if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
    {
         Melee.animation.Play("Attack");
         var hit : RaycastHit;
         if (Physics.Raycast (transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), hit))
         {
            Distance = hit.distance;
            if (Distance < MaxDistance)
            {
            hit.transform.SendMessage("ApplyDamage", TheDamage, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
            }
         }
     }
}

Also, if anyone can help me via skype with all the problems I have with the game, I would gladly appreciate.

You have not assigned anything to the field ‘Melee’. You can either assign it in the editor, or through some scripting.

If you think you have already assigned it, could you show where it is assigned?
