Very Simple Pickup Issue

Hi everyone,

I'm not a coder so don't be harsh on me :)

I am trying to use a pickup script on a model that has no FPSPlayer/Character controller attached; It's a ship. Please explain to me what these two lines should tell me : )

1. function ApplyPickup (player : Airship) { //initially this was FPSPlayer
2. var player : Airship = col.GetComponent(Airship); // who's the player and who's supposed to be the component?

My 'player' setup is like this - A Parent game object named Airship that has the ship controls and the health script from the fps tutorial. It works fine. To this object I attached the mesh of my ship.

Thanks in advance :)
