I'm pretty new to the getcomponent function in java and I want to learn it,I did not understand the unity docs, so here I am, How do I make an getcomnponent to my player and a script called moneysystem and access the int called money in the system? i got my code to give me money here

 #pragma strict
 
 var Health = 100;
 var tombstone : GameObject;
 thePlayer : GameObject;
 function ApplyDammage (TheDammage : int)
 {
     Health -= TheDammage;
     
     if(Health <= 0)
     {
         Dead();
     }
 }
 
 function Dead()
 {
     Instantiate (tombstone, gameObject.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
     /*GET COMPONENT HERE
     --------------*/
     Destroy (gameObject);
 }
 

and here's my money code

 var money : int = 1000;//amout of your money
 
 
 function Update()
 {
  
  if(money < 0)

   money = 0;
  
  }
  
 }

Are the two scripts on the same GameObject? If they are you can eliminate the find step. (code is C#, but the principle is the same).

 GameObject moneyObject = GameObject.Find("MoneyObject");
 MoneyScript moneyScript = moneyObject.GetComponent<MoneyScript>();
 moneyScript.money = 0;

In general you want to use Find and GetComponent as little as possible, they are expensive functions. You can often do this by calling them once in start and hanging onto the result.
