What's wrong with this script?

var pickUpDistance : float;
var cameraVar : Transform;

private var hit : RaycastHit;

    function Update(){
    	//debug ray
    	Debug.DrawRay(Camera.main.transform.position, Camera.main.transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward) * 100, Color.red);
    	
    	if(Input.GetButtonDown("Action")){
    		PickUpWeapon();
    	}
    }
    
    function PickUpWeapon(){
    	//is the object within range?
    	var rayVar = Physics.Raycast(cameraVar.transform.position, cameraVar.transform.forward, hit, pickUpDistance);
    	if(rayVar){
    		//is the object tagged "weapon"?
    		if(hit.collider.GameObject.tag == "weapon"){
    			print(hit.collider.Gameobject.name);
    		}
    		else{
    			print("not a weapon");
    		}
    	}
    	else{
    		print("miss");
    	}
    }

I get a NullReferenceException when I press my “action” button and the object is within range. This is the script I based it off of, but instead I’m finding the tag not the name:

function Update () {
 
   var up = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.up);
   var hit : RaycastHit;    
   Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, -up * 10, Color.green);
 
   if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position, -up, hit, 10)){
      Debug.Log("Hit");    
      if(hit.collider.gameObject.name == "floor"){
           Destroy(GetComponent(Rigidbody));
      }
   }
}

I have no idea what I did wrong can someone help?!

Thanks!

These 2 lines:

     if(hit.collider.GameObject.tag == "weapon"){
            print(hit.collider.Gameobject.name);

should be:

     if(hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "weapon"){
            print(hit.collider.gameObject.name);

I’m guessing hit.collider.GameObject.tag should not capitalize gameObject
