how to get a gameObject's name from another scrpit
I have read Overview: Accessing Other Game Objects
but could not get the concept
//in ProjectileManager.js script
var projectile : GameObject ;
function Start () {
projectile = AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath( "Assets/cannonball.prefab", typeof(GameObject) );
}
I need to know what is assigned to the projectile in ProjectileManager.js While coding in the GunType.js
//My wrong GunType.js file
internal var gunName : Projectile;
gunName = GetComponent(Projectile);
function Start () {
}
function Update () {
print(gunName.projectile.transform.name + "from GUI");
}
I need to have access to name of the gameObject assigned to projectile, (in this case "cannonball")
it should be an easy situation, hope you can help :(

You need to find GameObject thet script assained to. Then find script it self, and then get var. You do it like this:
private var projectile_manager: Component;
projectile_manager = GameObject.Find("Name of game object script assaingt to").GetComponent(ProjectileManager);
private var Projectile : GameObject;
Projectile = projectile_manager.Projectile;
Or you can predefine GameObject script attach to;
private var projectile_manager : Component;
var projectileScriptObject : GameObject;
projectile_manager = projectileScriptObject.GetComponent(ProjectileManager);
private var Projectile : GameObject;
Projectile = projectile_manager.Projectile;
