(Im new,maybe its just a silly error but i really dont know)

Error:

MissingReferenceException: The object of type 'Text' has been destroyed but you are still trying to access it. Your script should either check if it is null or you should not destroy the object. UnityEngine.EventSystems.UIBehaviour.IsActive () (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Extensions/guisystem/UnityEngine.UI/EventSystem/UIBehaviour.cs:22) UnityEngine.UI.Graphic.SetVerticesDirty () (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Extensions/guisystem/UnityEngine.UI/UI/Core/Graphic.cs:100) UnityEngine.UI.Text.set_text (System.String value) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Extensions/guisystem/UnityEngine.UI/UI/Core/Text.cs:138) PlayerController.SetScore () (at Assets/PlayerController.cs:133) PlayerController.OnBecameInvisible () (at Assets/PlayerController.cs:99)

You need to add a check on your script if enemy exists or not before accessing it's text variable. What happens is that you destroyed the enemy game object but you have some functions trying to access that destroyed game object's variables.

Check if null, and if it is null, either add a return statement or create a target for your script. Here's an example using if null:

 private static Level$$anonymous$$anager instance = null;

 public static Level$$anonymous$$anager GetInstance(){
     if (instance == null) {
         instance = new Level$$anonymous$$anager ();
         instance.coloredList = new List<Color> ();
         instance.coloredList.Add (Color.red);
         instance.coloredList.Add (Color.yellow);
         instance.coloredList.Add (Color.blue);
     }
