setting boolean in one script from another

I want to set a boolean from true in it's own script, to false from another. But it doesn't work. I don't get any errors, but the boolean stays set to true.
It seems such a simple issue, but it ruined my afternoon... Anybody sees where the problem is?

The one script, called "gameover", attached to a GameObject called "Watcher":

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. #pragma strict
3. var gameover: boolean;
4.  
5. function Awake () {
6. gameover = true;
7. }
8.  

and the other script , called "setgame':

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. #pragma strict
3. private var game:boolean;
4.  
5. function Awake () {
6.     game = GameObject.Find("Watcher").GetComponent.<Gameover>().gameover;
7. }
8.  
9. function Start () {
10.     game = false;
11. }
12.  

 

Use [code ]code tags[/code] to make your code look better and make it easier for us to read it and help you.

You never set Gameover.gameover to anything. When you affect "game", it only affects your local copy of the bool.

 

You helped me again! This time, i have made a variable for the Gameover component in the other gameobject and then after a dot, call the real boolean or integer! Thank you, StarManta!

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. #pragma strict
3. private var game:Gameover;
4.  
5. function Awake () {
6. game = GameObject.Find("Watcher").GetComponent.<Gameover>();
7. }
8.  
9. function Start () {
10. game.gameover = true;
11. game.howmuch = 78;
12. }
13.
