How do I destroy an object after giving the player a point?

Question

Hi, so I'm making a game, and I want to make these collectables that give points and then disappear. I tried making a script like this, and it disappears, but doesn't give the point. Could someone please help me?

public class Points : MonoBehaviour {

 public TMP_Text MyText;
 private int score;


 // Use this for initialization
 void Start()
 {

     MyText.text = "";

 }


 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update()
 {

     MyText.text = "" + score;

 }


 void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
 {

     score = score + 1;
     Destroy(gameObject);
     
     

 }

}

How is your score declared in the game? It seems like you have this script on the object that gets destroyed after the player collides with it. You've declared score as a private variable within I'd assume several different 'collectibles' objects. Instead, declare the score as a variable on the player or a game manager object. Then on the collision have the script on the player or game manager add +1 to the score.
