Make sure to paste scripts instead of screen shots.

Is Spawner a Global/Autoload?

Yes but calling them via the global autoload also did not work

You need to reference the node to call this method on it. Right now you are calling the methods as Class-methods
try this instead:

@export var spawner: Node

func _on_body_entered(body):
    spawner.destroy()
    spawner.respawn()

And make sure to go to the inspector and select the spawner as the exported “spawner”-variable

You do not want it as a Global/Autoload since that won’t be the same node as the one in your scene tree; try using an @export as @herrspaten suggests.

What is the exact error you recieve?

Also add your Camera2D to the player scene, or else it will be destroyed forever when respawning.

Your function is called “destoy()” and you are calling “destroy()”.

Did you check if that typo could be the problem?

i fixed the typo but now its is giving this error
E 0:00:04:0540 spawner.gd:15 @ respawn(): Can’t change this state while flushing queries. Use call_deferred() or set_deferred() to change monitoring state instead.
<C++ Error> Condition “body->get_space() && flushing_queries” is true.
<C++ Source> servers/physics_2d/godot_physics_server_2d.cpp:654 @ body_set_shape_disabled()
spawner.gd:15 @ respawn()
killzone.gd:7 @ _on_body_entered()
and the player is not getting deleted
