SendMessage function not working

Could anyone help me with this it has me stumped for days..

I am trying to deduct health from a second game object by using the sendmessage function.

MeleeSystem.js

 #pragma strict
 
 var TheDamage : int = 50;
 var Distance : float;
 var MaxDistance : float = 20;
  
 function Update()
 {
         if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
         {
         
    
                 var hit : RaycastHit;
                 if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), hit))
                 {
                     Distance = hit.distance;
                     if (Distance < MaxDistance) 
                     {
                         Debug.Log("11111");
                         hit.transform.gameObject.SendMessage("ddd", 50, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
                            hit.transform.gameObject.SendMessage("ApplyDamage", TheDamage, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
                       }
             }
         }
 }

EnemyLogic.js

 #pragma strict
 var Health=100;
 
 function Update(){
     if(Health<=0){
         Dead();
     }
 }
 
 function ApplyDamage(theDamage: int){
     //Health-=theDamage;
 
     Debug.Log("22222");
     Health-=50;
 }
 
 function Dead(){
     Destroy(gameObject);
 }
 function ddd(ge : int){
     Debug.Log("3333");
 }

2222 and 33333 never print out so its definitely the SendMessage Function that's not working...
