Is there anyway to GetComponent a script that has brackets in its name?

    for e.g
    Code (JavaScript):
    1. var guardsc : (targetBased)V2 = Guard.gameObject.Getcomponent((targetBased)V2);
    This don't work.
    Because the Coding engine always assumes the brackets are code instructions and not part of my components name.


    It's important that my script name has brackets in it to help differentiate between them easier,
    is there anyway to access scripts with brackets via script?

    You can use GetComponent("name"), that should solve it.
