if (Input.GetButtonDown ("shoot")) {
 
GameObject.Find("NEWPOINT").active = true;

There's a gotcha with Find that you just hit:

http://unity3d.com/support/documenta...ject.Find.html

If no game object with name can be found, null is returned. If name contains a '/' character it will traverse the hierarchy like a path name. This function only returns active gameobjects.

[Warp boy2]

so the gameObject.Find only finds active objects.. and thats why is not fidning the NEWPOINT because he is unchecked..

damm...

You can still activate the object, just get a reference to the object a different way (such as assigning it in the inspector).

var target : GameObject;
 
function Update (){
    if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")) target.active = true;
}
