You don't need to use component.invoke here. It's a quite rarely used function since there are better alternatives.

First, component.<component type>.<method>. E.g., component.tile_defense_machine_launcherscreen_name.launch(). This is what you should use if you only have a single component of some type.

local component = require("component")

local launcher = component.tile_defense_machine_launcherscreen_name
launcher.launch()

Second, component.proxy(address). Use it if there are several components of the same time, and you need to operate with a specific one. An address of the component should be passed to the function.

local component = require("component")

-- the address of the component, use an analyzer to get it
local componentAddress = "1234567890ab-1234-1234-1234-12345678"
local launcher = component.proxy(componentAddress)
launcher.launch()

[Nexarius 18]

local component = require("component")

for k in component.list("tile_defense_machine_launcherscreen_name") do
  component.proxy(k).launch()
end

You can use this if you have multiple launchers and want to activate all of them.
