Call function from other script

Ok i have a quite an annoying problem im using the 2d platform controller and on the script PlatformerController there is a function "OnDeath" w$$anonymous$$ch resets the players position.

I want to call that function from another script called KillTimer w$$anonymous$$ch is attached to an object that when the player touches it it Destroys the player.

No matter what i do i cant get the Kill Timer script to call the OnDeath Function in the platformerController script

Please help

im using java script so code would be awesome ive read over all the unity help with calling other function and tried lot of different ways and it still doesnt work

ive tried putting: var target : PlatformerController; on the killTimer script and then when it needs to be called i say :target.OnDeath(); but id does not work. it calls the function because it comes up with the debug message of "dead" but it does not call the Spawn() function inside the OnDeath() function

and if i call the Spawn() function from the killTimer script the same thing happens in enters the function but it does not reset the players position.

my reset player position script it :

function Spawn () { // reset the character's speed movement.verticalSpeed = 0.0; movement.speed = 0.0; transform.position = spawnPoint.position; // reset the character's position to the spawnPoint
}
