    is it possible to do so? because so far it seems it doesn't or at least I cant figure out to do so. :rolleyes:

    Basically the component Im adding is a Damage Pop up script that destroys itself after a second but problem is I cant use getcomponent to change the variable because there are multiple copies of this component per object and each one needs to have a different value on this variable (received damage).

    Kind regards.

    Sure it is. Use the return value of AddComponent, such as

    Code (csharp):
    1. var script = AddComponent(SomeScript);
    2. script.someVar = 99;
    --Eric
