How do I call a class' variable from a script on one object, from a script on another gameobject? The class/variables auto-complete in the code, but won't work in game.

I have a script on my player object called DynaControls that has variables that I want to be called from by enemies in my game. So I referenced the DynaControls script in a ESpawnLife script that is on my enemies. Everything seems to be connecting in code, but the variables are not being called in Unity. Nothing referencing ‘DC’ is working.

public class ESpawnLife : MonoBehaviour
{

public GameObject eMine;
public GameObject eBullet;
public GameObject player;

public DynaControls DC;

void Start ()
{
	InvokeRepeating("SpawnMines", 2, 5);
   	InvokeRepeating("SpawnBullets", 2, 10);

    DC = player.GetComponent<DynaControls>();
    //otherObject = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").GetComponent<GameObject>();
}

void Update ()
{
    DC.dead = true;
    print("autodeath");

    if (DC.deleteAura == true)
    {
        print("seeing it");
    }
}

void SpawnMines()
{
	Instantiate(eMine, this.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
}

void SpawnBullets()
{
	Instantiate(eBullet, this.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
}

void OnCollisionEnter (Collision other)
{
    if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player")
    {
        if (DC.deleteAura || DC.reterAura == true)
        {
            print("deathtouch");
            Destroy(this.gameObject);
        }
    }
}

}
