Can't remove component. MeshRenderer depends on it

Question

What can I do about this error?

Currently I have an object that should die (Destroy currently) when health <= 0 and instead I get this error

here is the code that should rid me of the object:

// vars var health : float = 100; var armour : float = 0; var shield : float = 0;

// supporting vars
var damage_hull : float = 0;
var damage_shield : float = 0;
var temp : float = 0;

// control vars
var replace : boolean = false;

// objects
var explosion : Transform;
var replacement : Transform;
var origional : Transform;

function Update () 
{
    if (health > 0.0 && shield <= 0.0)
    {
        if (armour > 0)
        {
            armour = armour - ( damage_hull / 2 );
            temp = damage_hull - armour;
            if (temp > 0)
            {
                damage_hull = temp;
            }
        }

     health = health - damage_hull;
 }

 if (health &lt;= 0.0)
 {
     if (replace == false)
     {
         //Instantiate(explosion,transform.position, transform.rotation);
         Destroy (origional);
     }
     else
     {
         Instantiate(replacement,transform.position, transform.rotation);
         Destroy (origional);
     }
 }

function Hull_Damage_receiver (hull : float)
{
    damage_hull = hull;
}

function Shield_Damage_receiver (shield : float)
{
    damage_shield = shield;
}

Since "origional" is a Transform, I think you probably want:

Destroy( origional.gameObject );

Thanks a lot - still can't get my head around it though!

If you Destroy the Transform (a Component), it is like trying to remove the Transform component from the GameObject. However, all Components expect there to be a Transform in their GameObject, so it complains.

Thanks for that.
