(My player prefab is with tag "Player")
Error: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object ThornController.OnTriggerEnter2D (UnityEngine.Collider2D other) (at Assets/Scripts/ThornController.cs:48)
I guess line 48 refers to ph.TakeDamage() so the problem is that there is no object in your scene with the "Player" tag. Are you sure you set the tag correctly? If the problem still persists please send some screenshots (from the error, the player, etc.)
FindObjectOfType<PlayerHealth> would be a better solution here than using tags. Similarly, you can replace your tag check in the trigger method with a physics layer instead, and simply skip processing any collisions that don't need to take damage, before the method is ever called.
