Question by ina · Dec 27, 2010 at 04:11 AM · gameobjectinstantiateobjectdestroy

Destroy the current GameObject?

How do you destroy the current GameObject? (the one the script is in)

Destroy(GameObject) doesn't work nor does Destroy(this) ... The latter seems to destroy the construct, but does not remove the actual GameObject onscreen...

When using Destroy(gameObject), it seems I am no longer able to instantiate new ones if I kill off the only prefab on screen (even from another script).

BTW - what is the difference between GameObject and gameObject and this?

GameObject is the GameObject class, gameObject is a property which retrieves the GameObject attached to the script, this is an instance of the script

This question is probably better broken down into different topics... http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/33473/destroy-the-first-instanced-prefab-while-still-being-able-to-generate-more-prefab and http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/33474/difference-between-gameobject-and-gameobject-and-a-scene-item-named-gameobject

This unreadable punctuationless sentence is a comment, not an answer.

This is so old and I was asking a question but there's no "questions under the question" topic. only comments. Become less of a child maybe?
