Destroy a game object but I would like to have it return?

Question

When my player touches and object is triggered runs and I use.

 Destroy(other.gameObject)

This Destroys the object. Is there another way to make this object disappear so it doesn't effect my player movement and have it return after a few seconds or something like that?

You may try:

yourGameObject.setActive(false)

And when u need it back:

yourGameObject.setActive(true)

Like the others said, you can just use setActive, but if you want it to be activated after a while you can do the following:

 void OnCollisionEnter (Collision other) {
     // Disable
      other.gameObject.setActive (false);
    
     // Re-enable
     StartCoroutine (SetActive (other, 5f));// set active after 5 seconds
 }
 
 Enumarator SetActive (Collision other, float seconds) {
       // Wait for the specified time
       yield return new WaitForSeconds (seconds);
       
      // Set the object enabled again
     other.gameObject.setActive (true);
 }

@sreichen, seconds is simply how long you want to wait until the object respawns.

You can use GameObject.SetActive to deactivate your gameobject rather than destroying it. Then you can activate the gameobject again to get it back.
