NullRefenceException error
So I get "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" at this line camera3rd.enabled=false;. Can't figure out what's wrong
   using UnityEngine;
     using System.Collections;
     public class CameraSwitch : MonoBehaviour {
     
         public SmoothFollow camera3rd;
     
         
         public Transform target;
         public float time;
     
         
         void Start () {
     
             // Auto setup smoothfollow to a cameraswitch script
             camera3rd = gameObject.GetComponent<SmoothFollow>() ;
 //disabling this script
             camera3rd.enabled=false;
         }
Have a look at my explanation on null reference exceptions and how to fix them. You can find it here.

 public SmoothFollow camera3rd;
This is an uninitialized variable, did you forget to add a SmoothFollow script component to the GameObject?
Are you positive. I have a test script setup exactly like yours and i can compile and run it fine, it does as expected.
Can you copy and paste the exact error message please.
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object CameraSwitch.Start () (at Assets/SwitchCameras/CameraSwitch.cs:18)
@diablia: I guess then you have drag&dropped it correctly in the inspector, but when you call gameObject.GetComponent< SmoothFollow >(), it doesn't find it and "resets" the camera3rd variable to null? 
Double check that you do have both scripts attached to the same GameObject as components.
You should have at least a CameraSwitch Script Component and an SmoothFollow Script Component attached to the GameObject.
Your answer
