calling a function from a script on a collsion object
on collision I want to call the function SpawnDefender() from the script SummonDefenderOnStand() . I am doing this by finding the gameObject of the collider and then using GetComponent to find the script and it's function. However it does not find the function SpawnDefender().
Thanks in advance for any help.
private GameObject defenderStand;
if (other.tag == "defenderStand")
{
defenderStand = other.gameObject.GetComponent<GameObject>();
defenderStand.GetComponent<SummonDefenderOnObject>().SpawnDefender();
defenderStand.SpawnDefender();
}

Try this:
if (other.tag == "defenderStand")
{
SummonDefenderOnObject defenderStand = other.gameObject.GetComponent<SummonDefenderOnObject>();
if( defenderStand )
defenderStand.SpawnDefender();
}

Feel free to accept his answer if your question is answered.
I would like to add that whenever comparing tags ins$$anonymous$$d of doing other.tag == "some tag", try this other.CompareTag(some tag). It is much more efficient and does not produce garbage for garbage collector.
