How do I get the Player's Health Script as Component?
The Player has a Health Script with the Filename PlayerHealthManagement.cs. And every Projectile Prefab which is shot by Enemies, has a DamagingPlayerTrigger.cs Script, which needs a Instance of the Player inside a GameObject Slot to be able to damage him, if he touches it.
Since I can't just Drag the Player Instance inside a Prefab, I need to get it as a Component, but failed.
Can you please help me with the GetComponent Part??
 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class DamagingPlayerTrigger : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public PlayerHealthManagement _playerHealth;
     public int damage = 1;
     
     void Start()
     {
         PlayerHealthManagement _playerHealth = gameObject.GetComponent<PlayerHealthManagement>();
     }
     
     void OnTriggerEnter2D (Collider2D other)
     {
         if (other.CompareTag ("Plaiyer"))
         {
             _playerHealth.PlayerHurt(damage);
         }
     }
 }

      void OnTriggerEnter2D (Collider2D other)
      {
          if (other.CompareTag ("Plaiyer"))
          {
              _playerHealth = other.GetComponent<PlayerHealthManager>();
              _playerHealth.PlayerHurt(damage);
          }
      }
 
               or if you need a reference sooner
      void Start()
      {
          _playerHealth = FindObjectOfType<PlayerHealthManagement>();
      }
 
               depends on how soon you need the reference... oh plus you don't want to have the "PlayerHealthManagement _playerHealth = " part, because you just created a new local variable named the same as your class's variable defined above.
