Im trying to send message to score to -5 when ever I instantiate an object, i’ve managed to get everything else fine but now it’s late and i’m derping it.

var spentAmount : int = -5;

if(GameObject.Find("__GameMaster").GetComponent(Score).score >= 5){
var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
		var hit : RaycastHit;
			if (Physics.Raycast (ray, hit)) {
Instantiate (particle, hit.point, transform.rotation);	
GameObject.Find("__GameMaster").GetComponent(Score).score)SendMessage("SetScore"), spentAmount);

I know the error is that last line but for the life of me i cant get it to work… this is how i did my others via on trigger

function OnTriggerEnter(other: Collider){

if(other.gameObject.tag ==  "Enemy"){
		//Debug.Log("Enemy");
		guiRef.SendMessage("SetStability", stabilityAmount);
		Destroy(other.gameObject);
		Destroy(other.transform.parent.gameObject);
	}

but this one is attached to the object and it works fine need to figure out the top one

// this line is wrong

    GameObject.Find("__GameMaster").GetComponent(Score).score)SendMessage("SetScore"), spentAmount);

// not sure why are you getting the score, but this should work.

    GameObject.Find("__GameMaster").SendMessage("SetScore", spentAmount);
