Suppose that you are executing script A, and you want to disable script B. Both of them are attached to the same object. That's an easy task:

 GetComponent(B).enabled = false;

@Chompski, the code above works if both the scripts are attached to the same object.

However, if A and B are attached to different objects, you have to do this:

 GameObject.Find("other_object_name").GetComponent(B).enabled = false;

what you need to disable a script or a component from anyscript, is to find the gameObject where ur script is attached and then enable = false/true;

u can find ur game object by name or tag. store it in one variable and disable

for example C#:

 GameObject varGameObject = GameObject.Find("object");   or find with tag 
 
 GameObject varGameObject = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player"); then disable or enable script/component
 
 varGameObject.GetComponent<scriptname>().enabled = true;

example Js:

 var varGameObject = gameObject.Find("object")   Or with tag
 
 var varGameObject = gameObject.FindWithTag("player");
 
 varGameObject.GetComponent(scriptname).enabled = true;

In the future, you should use the Code Sample button to format your code otherwise it's very hard to read:

 public GameObject otherobj; //your other object 
 public string scr;
 // your second script name 
 void Start () { 
    (otherobj.GetComponent(scr) as $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour).enabled = false; 
 }
