Question

Hello, this is a basic question, but if I want to have a trigger (button, collision, etc.) to activate another script, how would I do that? How would I limit the amount of time the script would be activate? An example would be: The player hits a button and a "constant force" script is activated for 5 seconds (to simulate nitrous oxide in a car). Thanks.

Would it be something like this you are looking for?

function Update ()
{
    if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space) && nosReady)
        NOS();
}

function NOS()
{
    nosReady = false;
    nosActive = true;
    yield WaitForSeconds(5);
    nosActive = false;
    yield WaitForSeconds(5);
    nosReady=true;
}

function FixedUpdate()
{
    if (nosActive)
    {
        //Add force
    }
}

While a NOS type boost was one of the things I had in mind, I meant triggering a completely separate script that is in the scene. Also, I am new to unity, so I dont even know what to do with your script (how would I make it work)?

You would use gameObject.AddComponent(TheNameOfTheScript); But if you are that new to unity, I would suggest poking around in the http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/
