Here is the code you are looking for.

   //Disable another script as soon as your press Play

   function Start () {

   gameObject.Find("gameobject").GetComponent (scriptname).enabled = false;

   }

"gameobject" = the name of the game object that the script is on in the hierarchy.

"scriptname" = the name of the script that is on the game object.

(TIP) - To turn the script back on just change the word (false) to (true).

I've put in the line and I'm getting ""enabled" is not a component of UnityEngine.Component".

I just tested this code and it worked. You are using javascript right?

I am using JavaScript, yes. However the code I'm trying to disable is in C#, in case that made any difference.

Please show us the code you used and the script so we can pinpoint where the error is occuring...

Yes Javascript can't access the C# code that is the problem. I believe the fix would be putting the C# code in a folder called Plugins or standard assets Assets/plugins/C#code then it might work. Check this out http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/252865/accessing-a-c-field-from-javascript.html

 if (GameObject.Find("yourobjectname") != null) // just to avoid null pointer exceptions
         {
             GameObject.Find("yourobjectname").GetComponent<yourscriptname>().enabled = false;
         }

yourobjectname = Name of your object that has the script in it

yourscriptname = the script you want to disable (or enable by replacing "false" with "true"

Hope this helps it worked fine for me @VLunarFangV
