Question

This function is supposed to find the emitter that the object has, but it never gets into the if. (It's the code from the fps tutorial) I don't get why it doesn't exist.

function Kill ()
{
// Stop emitting particles in any children
    var emitter : ParticleEmitter = GetComponentInChildren(ParticleEmitter);
    if (emitter)
    {
       emitter.emit = false;
       transform.DetachChildren();
       Destroy(gameObject);
    }
}

I've seen this type of thing, I think it's a bug. Try splitting it:

var emitter : ParticleEmitter;
emitter = GetComponentInChildren(ParticleEmitter);

I've had similar issues before, now I don't trust the GetComponentsInChildren anymore. IIRC, I've got the generic version to work more often than the normal method. I wouldn't swear it but you give it a try tell us, heh.

GetComponentInChildren.<ParticleEmitter>(); //JS syntax requires a dot
GetComponentInChildren<ParticleEmitter>(); //C# doesn't

I partially solved my problem, I'm not sure what the problem was, but it wasn't code issues.
